ONION - AMPOSTA PURPLE
ONION - PURPLETTE
Allium cepa
This popular heirloom, is a glossy purple red coloured medium
sized slightly sweet bulb that makes an excellent option for
eating raw on sandwiches and in salads.
Sow in Spring so the bulbs have a chance to grow large bulbs
Onions like well limed soil rich in organic matter. It is best to
start onions in seed trays and transplant into the garden when
10-15 cm high to beat the weeds, snails and other
garden pests. Dig the trenches 10 -15 cm wide, 5cm deep and
then add fertiliser along the side of the trenches. Refill the
trench and sow the seed in the centre of the previous
trench. Space the seedlings approximately 10cm apart,
with a space of 30 cm between each row. The onions will
be ready for pulling and storing approximately 6 to 7
months from sowing the seed when the tops begin drying.
