Mr Fothergill's Salad Seeds Onion (Spring) North Holland Blood - 500 Seeds

Attractive and versatile variety with mild flavour and crisp flesh. Use young as salad onions or grow on as bulbing onions. Colour intensifies with maturity.

Sow & Grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly, February-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-dug, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 15cm (6") between rows.

Early and late sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days.

For spring onions, no thinning is required, but keep well watered in dry spells.

Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply through the summer.

Harvest: April-October.

For bulb onions, sow no later than April. Thin seedlings to 8cm (3") apart.

Harvest: From July onwards.

Hints & Tips:

Harvest alternate spring onions from early sowings, allowing space for the remaining ones to mature as bulbs.
