Add Colour and Flavour to Your Garden and Kitchen

Onion 'Red Baron' (Allium cepa) is a popular spring onion variety prized for its firm, flattish-round bulbs and vivid dark red skin. These onions not only enhance your dishes with their robust, home-grown flavour, but also bring ornamental value to your vegetable patch or raised beds thanks to their rich colour and attractive red-rimmed flesh.

Why Choose 'Red Baron'?

  • Distinctive Appearance: The deep red bulbs create a striking look both in the garden and on the plate.
  • Strong Taste: Enjoy a more pronounced onion flavour compared to standard varieties—perfect for salads, salsas, and roasting.
  • Bountiful Harvests: This reliable cropper yields generously season after season.
  • Long Storage Life: Keeps well post-harvest so you can enjoy your home-grown onions for months.

Growing Guide

  • Sowing: Direct sow seeds in well-prepared soil from February to April, spacing rows about 30cm apart. Cover lightly with soil.
  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun for best bulb development.
  • Soil: Grows best in fertile, well-drained soils with a neutral pH (around 6.5–7.5). Avoid waterlogged ground.
  • Watering: Keep soil moist during dry spells but avoid overwatering.
  • Cropping: Harvest bulbs from midsummer through autumn once the foliage begins to yellow and fall over.
  • Storage: Cure bulbs by drying them in a warm, airy place before storing in a cool, dry location.

Caring for Your Onions

  • No Pruning Required: Simply remove any yellowing leaves as harvest approaches.

Garden Design & Companion Planting
