Onion Sets - F1 Forum (200g Pack) 200g Pack - Vegetable Plants
This superb onion is one of the earliest we have seen from a spring planting.
The fat semi-globe shaped bulbs were ready to lift in early August almost a month before Sturon.
Shows excellent vigour and uniformity, the bulbs will store in good condition until late autumn. (200g of sets [approximately 50 sets] will plant a row of approximately 5m [16']. 400g of sets will plant a row of approximately 10m [32'].) Maturing time approximately 18-20 weeks from planting.
Onion sets are small immature onion 'bulbs' in an arrested stage of growth.
When planted in spring they begin to grow again and will become full size onions by late summer.
They are rarely attacked by pests or diseases and thrive in ordinary conditions.. 200g Pack.
Unpack sets on arrival and spread out in a light cool position until planting time.
Choose a well-drained sunny position where the soil is reasonably good.
Plant February-April, leaving tips of bulbs above the soil surface, allowing about 10cm (4") between sets and about 30cm (12") between rows.. . . .
Onion sets are a quicker and much easier way of producing onions than growing from seed.
When leaves turn yellow in late summer, partially ease the bulbs out of the soil with a fork - this speeds the ripening process before harvesting later in September.
