Onion ‘Autumn Champion’ is praised for being one of the very best performers! It stands popular with commercial growers due to its high yields and hardiness, whilst also maintaining high quality and delicious flavour. You will be rewarded with an early harvest of gleaming, golden skinned alliums that will store for many months and can be added to a range of culinary dishes.
Growing Information
Plant onion sets in rows in any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting onions on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing onion sets in raised beds. When growing onions from sets, plant the bulbs so that the tip of bulb is just protruding through the soil surface. Leave a space of 10cm (4″) between each bulb, and 30cm (12″) between each row.
