Exhibition Onion Veg Plant Collection

Exhibition Onion Veg Plant Collection

You can be confident of show bench success with these onion plants, as they are fast becoming a must-have for anyone wishing to exhibit at local shows through to National Championships. Our unique Exhibition Onion Plant Collection comprises of three varieties, each selected for their excellent showbench qualities and reliable performance in the garden.

Individually modular grown to minimise root disturbance, the plants are nurtured over winter with all production stages carefully managed for you. At the transplanting stage, around mid-April, they are hand packed, wrapped and delivered ready for immediate planting. A detailed growing guide is included to help you achieve the best possible results.

The collection includes 60 module-grown plants, 20 each of:

Onion Exhibition – This splendid variety is well named, as it is fast becoming a must-have for anyone wishing to exhibit at local shows through to National Championships. It has performed well on our trial ground year after year, and its mild flavour and crisp texture means it’s also a winner in the kitchen.

Onion Tough Ball F1 – Tough Ball is the mainstay of the under 250g onion class at shows throughout the country. As well as being the preferred choice of exhibition growers, it is a very tasty variety producing incredibly uniform onions with a strong skin and crisp, firm flesh. High yielding and resistant to bolting.

Onion Fasto F1 – An early maturing onion that has a single centre to ensure a much rounder bulb, perfect for the showbench. With good vigour throughout the season, this high-quality variety produces uniform bulbs with silky skins and a golden yellow colour, lovely flavour and a satisfying crunch. Excellent storage ensures a supply of onions throughout winter too.
