Product description
Grow your own onions for use in the kitchen with this pack of hardy and reliable plants.
Red onions have a sweeter flavour than white or yellow onions, making them perfect for use in summer salads. This Red Baron variety is one of the stronger flavoured red onions and works well in cooked dishes as well as raw.
Red Baron onions tend to mature later than other varieties and can be stored for several months, meaning you can enjoy home grown onions throughout the year. Following harvest, allow the onions to dry in full sun for a couple of days before moving to a cool dark place, such as a garage or shed.
This 8 cell tray is ready to be planted out in beds, borders, pots or containers.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Remove flower stems as they appear to promote larger bulbs that can be stored for longer.
How to Water
Water the soil, but not the plant, regularly during particularly dry spells but take care not to overwater.
How to Plant
Plant in a warm spot in full sun with well-draining soil, weeding the area and digging in plenty of compost before planting. Onions grow equally well in the ground or in containers, providing the soil drains freely.
