Onion 75 seeds "Simane"

Onion Simane is a maincrop red skinned variety which produces elongated pinky red bulbs with an outstanding sweet flavour. Continental type very popular in France and Southern Europe. Perfect as a raw slicer. A wonderfully evocative taste of France. Onions prefer a sunny position with a rich but light soil, however they will do well in most soils as long as it is firm. For this reason it is best to prepare the soil well in advance of planting.
Dig the soil to 45cm (18in) deep, working in any organic matter available - remove any stones in the soil that you come across during the digging. Just before planting, tread the soil down so that it is firm. Onions are ideal plants for growing in small confined spaces, they particularly thrive in raised beds.
