Thompson and Morgan Onion Hylander Seeds

Grow a kitchen favourite with the Thompson and Morgan Onion Hylander Seeds, offering a hardy annual that's resistant to downy mildew and perfect for versatile cooking. You'll find sowing straightforward whether outdoors in full sun or indoors in trays, with clear instructions included for both methods. Expect attractive pale brown onions that store well and suit many dishes, reaching up to 45cm tall and 15cm wide when fully established. Each packet contains 125 seeds, making it easy to plan a productive vegetable patch for harvests from July to September. Direct sow onions outdoors in spring on any firm, well-drained soil in full sun. Sow thinly at a depth of one centimetre and a distance of 30cm between rows. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well-rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting onions on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing onions in raised beds. When large enough to handle, thin onion seedlings to 10cm apart for medium-sized bulbs, or at a slightly wider spacing if larger bulbs are required. Alternatively, sow onion seed indoors in module trays at a depth of one centimetre, using free-draining, seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 10-15°C (50-59F) until after germination, which usually takes ten to 14 days. Once germinated, grow onions on in cool conditions until all risk of frost has passed and they are large enough to plant outdoors at a distance of 10cm apart. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting. Product Specifications: Position: Full Sun.
