Onion - Red Baron - Bold flavour, crisp texture, rich aroma - Fresh Seeds

Onion Red Baron is a distinctive, mid early variety with glossy, deep red skins and a mild, slightly sweet flavour. It produces large, gently flattened bulbs with firm flesh and an appealing aroma. A reliable choice in the kitchen, it is especially good for salads and sandwiches, where its colour and crisp bite really stand out. After harvest it stores very well, keeping its crunch and rich colour for a long time. Gardeners value Red Baron for dependable performance, generous yields, and the beautiful red shade it brings to every dish.

Sowing depth

Sow Onion Red Baron seeds at a depth of 1 to 2 cm. This supports even germination and a healthy start. Sowing too deeply can delay sprouting, while sowing too shallowly may lead to drying out, so aim for a consistent depth.

Direct sowing outdoors

The best time to sow outdoors is from March to April. It is best to avoid growing onions where vegetables from the same family were grown the previous season, to help reduce the risk of disease.

Spacing

Allow 25 to 40 cm between rows and 8 to 10 cm between plants. This spacing gives bulbs room to develop, makes bed care easier, and supports even ripening. Well spaced plants also improve air circulation, which helps reduce the risk of fungal problems.

Harvest period

Harvest Onion Red Baron from August to September. At this stage the skins develop their characteristic deep colour and the tops begin to dry, which is a clear sign the bulbs are ready to lift. After harvesting, dry them in a well ventilated place to help extend storage time.

Growing tips

Red Baron grows best in fertile, free draining soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline reaction. A sunny position helps the bulbs develop stronger colour and a more pronounced flavour. This variety has good resistance to splitting and bolting. Regular watering and weeding support healthy, even sized bulbs with excellent taste. After harvest, they stay firm and fresh for many months, making them a great choice for long term storage.
