Thompson and Morgan Onion Redlander F1 Seeds

Start your vegetable patch with a breakthrough in onion growing as the Thompson and Morgan Onion Redlander F1 Seeds bring reliable harvests of large, mellow-flavoured red onions, thanks to their unique downy mildew resistance and specialist breeding. You'll enjoy impressive yields of round Rijnsburder-type bulbs that store well and suit both raw and cooked dishes, making them a versatile addition to any kitchen. Each seed packet includes around 100 seeds, complete with growing and care instructions, so you'll find it easy to get started in full sun, whether sowing outdoors or starting indoors for an earlier crop. Height: 45cm. Spread: 15cm. 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.
