Large, near-rounded bulbs with a golden skin and firm, strongly flavoured flesh, appear in abundance on this bolt-resistant variety. Ready to harvest earlier in the season than many of the others, this award-winning onion also has a long shelf life, so they can be stored (and enjoyed) over several months.
Garden care: Plant onion sets so that the tips are just showing, and then firm the soil around them from mid-February to March, 15cm (6in) apart in rows 30cm (12in) apart. Lift the onions when they are mature (normally in August) and allow them to dry before using.
