Description

Red Baron is a wonderful variety that will give you a heavy crop of gorgeous deep red onions with striking red rimmed white flesh. It has a good strong flavour and is great used raw in a salad. They store well over winter too!

It's easy to grow your own tasty onions when you start by planting onion sets. 'Sets' are tiny onions grown from seed which when replanted in spring just carry on growing, giving delicious bulb onions which are ready for lifting in early autumn. It works perfectly and is the chosen method of most professional growers.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence.

Supplied as a 250gm pack of sets.

Care Information

How to grow onions

Plant the onion sets from February until April, 3cm deep and 12cm apart and water well.
Weed regularly and water during particularly dry spells.
Harvest from August, when the leaves begin to turn yellow.
Lift with a fork, remove the leaves and allow to dry for a couple of days in the sun.
The onions can be stored for several months.

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
