Winter Onions 'Radar'
Alium cepa
Winter onions are planted in the autumn for a spring harvest. They remain dormant throughout the winter, and whilst the rest of the vegetable garden is only just beginning to come to life, 'Radar' onions are already ready to be harvested, sometimes as early as May.

Growing instructions
For an early harvest, plant ‘Radar’ winter onion sets from September to November, 2 cm deep with the tip pointing up. Choose well-drained soil in full sun, without fresh manure. At higher altitudes, you can cover them with winter fleece to protect them from the cold. Weed in spring and water only in dry spells.
For a later harvest, you can also store the sets in a cool, dry place and plant them from mid-February
