Onion Sets F1 Hytech - Heat Treated (200g Pack)
Heavy crops that store well
Considered to be the best heat prepared set onion, giving the heaviest crops of large golden semi globe onions that store particularly well. The consistent shape and good skin quality is ideal for the show bench. Hytech has a somewhat milder taste than its red cousin and is thus very versatile in the kitchen whether in cooking or eaten raw perhaps splashed with a little balsamic vinegar. Maturing time approximately 18-20 weeks from planting. For delivery early April. Treatment is not completed until March, therefore, heat treated sets will be despatched separate to your main order. Onion sets are small immature onion 'bulbs' in an arrested stage of growth. When planted in spring they begin to grow again and will become full size onions by late summer. They are rarely attacked by pests or disease and thrive in ordinary conditions.

Culture: Choose a well-drained sunny position where the soil is reasonably good. Plant by setting the bulbs 10cm (4") apart in rows 30cm (12") apart during March and April so that only the tips of the small bulbs show above the soil surface.
Hints: Specially prepared for optimum growing performance. Reduced instance of bolting (running to seed). Outstanding quality in bulbs produced. Ideal for the show bench. NB: Heat treated sets exhibit darker skins and are low in moisture. Initial growth may be restricted but soon speeds up provided they are planted into warm, moist soil.
