Red Overwintering Onion Sets 'Red Radiant' / 'Rote Winter'
- Product number: 307047.1
- Origin: Central Asia
- Latin: Allium cepa
Planted early, they are ready to harvest early, yet this variety stores well despite its early harvest. The sets are highly cold-resistant and can be planted from September to May, but planting in autumn or early winter is the only way to achieve the desired early harvest. For wet clay soil, we recommend creating raised beds for natural drainage. Plant them 20 cm apart and they will be ready to harvest from the spring (as young, white onions) or from May to September with brown skins. The result is a mild-flavoured onion that can be stored from autumn through the winter.
