Onion 'Red Baron' is a slightly flattened onion with a beautiful red color and a spicy taste. This onion has a relatively high yield and is easy to store. In addition, 'Red Baron' is also suitable for bunching; a versatile onion.
Sowing onions need a relatively long time to grow and ripen properly.
Sow in the period from March to mid-April at the latest. Sow at a row distance of 25 cm, thin out to 5-10 cm in the row. Sowing depth: approximately 5 mm. Planting strongly scented plants such as camomile, savory and carrots in the immediate vicinity of the onions could have a disruptive effect on the onion fly.
Onions grow best on relatively heavy, clayey soils. This certainly applies to the 'Red Baron'.
In the months of August - September the foliage will lie flat (or 'iron') and die. Pull the onions out of the ground with foliage and all and let the bulbs dry in an airy place, and not in full sun. The onions can be stored well until spring, as long as they are kept cool and dry.

Saving seeds

Store seeds in a cool, dry and dark place, such as a sealed box in a cupboard. Pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging and use them before that time. If the packaging has been opened, make sure it is sealed properly and check the germination capacity before use.

You can easily test the germination capacity of seeds with a germination test :

  1. Place a few seeds (for example 10) on a damp piece of kitchen paper.
  2. Fold the paper towel closed and place it in a plastic bag or place it in a sealed container.
  3. Place it in a warm place, such as on the windowsill.
  4. After a few days, check to see if the seeds have started to germinate.
