Description
Onion Four Colour Bulb Mix is a stunning mix of vibrant coloured onionsthat includes; ‘Red Tide F1’ a recently introduced variety, ‘Isobel rose’ which starts pink before deepening in storage, ‘Hybound F1’ that produces brown skinned bulbs and ‘Whitelady F1’ a white skinned crisp, juicy onion. The mix provides options that are suitable for a variety of dishes and store well for a long time. Produces bulbs with a real mix of various flavours ranging from mild to strong. Direct sow onions outdoors in spring on any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Sow thinly at a depth of 1cm (1/2”) and a distance of 30cm (12”) 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 (4”) apart for medium sized bulbs, or at a slightly wider spacing if larger bulbs are required. Onions are undemanding and require only occasional watering during particularly dry periods. However, rows should be weeded regularly. Harvest onions from July onwards, a week or two after the leaves begin to turn yellow. Choose a dry day to loosen them from the ground with a fork. Leave them on the soil surface for a day or two until they have fully dried in the sun. Once dry, remove the top foliage and store them in a well-ventilated, dry position.
