Onion, Wädenswiler Red Selection Z
Allium cepa
This onion is ready to be sown right to the field! It matures by late summer to dark-red, medium-sized onions. They match the exact size specified in household recipes. They are excellent in taste and keep well in long-term storage.
Growing instructions
Sow directly into the field in March in rows 30 cm apart. Intercropping with carrots is a possibility. Just slightly cover seeds with soil and pack lightly. Keep weed free. Harvest in August and September. Store in a dry, cool place such as a root cellar. Sowing into seedling trays with 2–3 seeds per compartment and then transplanting at a distance of 30 ✕ 10 cm, gives a good crop of uniform onions. We recommend transplanting.
