Mr Fothergills Onion Bonus F1 100 Seeds

Onion - Bonus F1

This fast growing 'Spanish' variety produces high yields of uniform globes with excellent flavour. The sweet, mild, less pungent flesh is extremely versatile and ideal for using raw or cooked.

Sow outdoors thinly from March to April, where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-dug, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin plants to 23cm apart. Transplant thinnings or use in salads. Or sow indoors from January to April, for larger bulbs, 0.5cm deep, in a tray of seed compost. Water well and maintain a temperature of 15-20°C. Keep moist. Transplant, 5cm apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out 23cm apart, during April/May. Harvest from August to September.
