Onion, Shallot & Garlic Sets


In this range you'll find spring-planting, autumn-planting and heat-treated varieties. Spring-planting varieties will give you a crop during June and July and autumn-planting varieties will be ready a few weeks earlier. Spring is such a busy time and planting onions and garlic in the autumn to overwinter gives you one less job to in spring! Heat-treated onions are less likely to bolt (run to seed) on planting, which occurs particularly in red varieties.

Onion 'Harvest Early Collection' (Spring Planting)

Allium cepa

Collection includes:
  • Onion 'Red Arrow' - Replacing our previous very early-ripening variety 'Red Emperor', 'Red Arrow' comes from specific British breeding of early red onions. Sets are fully heat treated and can be harvested from late July. Plants will resist bolting and as with any early red onion, harvested bulbs will store for up to 8 weeks.
  • Onion 'Vulcan' - British breeding of early brown onions brings us this new, fully heat-treated variety which is an earlier-ripening hybrid of the increasingly popular 'Rumba'. The slightly deeper, round bulbs have thinner necks and good resistance to bolting. This onion produces early crops from late July onwards.
