When to Sow Tough Ball F1 Onion Seeds

Can be sown August/September and planted out under cover in October for early crops, or sow in January in the greenhouse and plant out in Spring (around April to May).

Where to Sow

Early sowing can be made under glass in pots or seed trays, sow seed on the surface of seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling or vermiculite or compost, and place at a temperature of 14°C.

What to do Next

Greenhouse sown seedlings can be pricked out into individual pots or modular trays. Move plants to a cold frame in April to harden off before planting outside 10-15cm (4-6in) apart. Once bulbs are large enough lift and leave to mature for storing over winter.

Lift bulbs when mature and allow to dry before storing in a cool place for use as required.
