Mr Fothergill’s Onion Red Flash F1 Seeds

Description

Mr Fothergill’s Onion Red Flash F1 Seeds, Quick to mature, long storing bulbs. Encourage ripening by gently turning down the foliage as it starts to turn yellow. Allow to dry, before storing in a cool, dry room.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin plants to 23cm apart. Transplant thinnings or use in salads. Or sow indoors for larger bulbs, 0.5cm deep in a tray of seed compost. Water well and maintain a temperature of 15-20°C. Keep moist. Transplant 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 23cm apart. Allow onions to dry before storing in a cool, dry room.
