When to Sow Red Baron Onion Seeds

February to April

Where to Sow

Early sowing can be made underglass in pots or seed trays. Sow on the surface of a seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling or vermiculite or compost, and place at a temperature of 14°C. Outdoor sowings can be made in April, sow seed thinly in shallow drills 1.5cm (1/2in) deep, with rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart.

What to do next

Greenhouse sown seedlings can be pricked out into individual pots or modular trays. Move plants to a cold frame in April to harden off before planting outside 15-20cm (6-8in) apart. Outdoor sowings can be thinned gradually until plants are 15-20cm (6-8in) apart, then leave to mature as smaller bulbs for storing.

Maturity

Handy Tip

Very attractive for use raw in salads. Slice across the bulbs to produce lovely red and white rings.
