Why Choose Our Heat Treated Onion Sets?
Onions are incredibly versatile: a staple in everything from soups and sandwiches to pasta sauces. Growing your own lets you enjoy the freshest bulbs possible, with an unbeatable crisp texture and home-grown flavour.
Heat-treated onion sets are quicker and easier to grow than onion seeds, making them great for busy gardeners. The bulbs are carefully heated and cooled over several months – a natural process which kills the sprout stalk. This leads to faster growth and bigger onions and also prevents premature running to seed (‘bolting’).
Our heat-treated onions can be planted directly in the ground or grown in pots. Pair them with bushy tomato plants or dwarf beans for a productive container vegetable garden.
