Nouveauté 2007

Une variété populaire et fiable depuis plus de 100 ans. Produit de grandes têtes rondes à la peau marron or et à la chair blanche croquante. Se conserve bien.

Sow mid March to April. Sow thinly, 1cm (½in) deep, in drills 30cm (12in) apart.

When large enough to handle, thin seedlings to 7-10cm (3-4in) apart for medium sized bulbs, or slightly wider spacing if larger bulbs are required.

Keep well watered during dry weather especially during early stages of growth as the bulb swells. Do not bend leaves over, just wait for them to yellow and wither naturally, then lift bulbs on a sunny day and leave on soil surface to dry. Store sound and unblemished bulbs in trays or used tights in a dry, airy but frost free site for use throughout the winter.
