Mr Fothergills Onion Red Baron 150 Seeds

Onion - Red Baron

Red Baron produces high yields of attractive blood-red globes which have an excellent flavour and stores well.

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.
