Onion — Brown Spanish seeds
Brown Spanish Onion produces a light brown globe shaped bulb, that is medium in size and has a strong, pungent flavour. Brown Spanish Onion is relatively early-maturing compared to other brown-onion varieties and stores well. This onion variety needs a sunny spot in your garden (a minimum of around 6 hours per day) and regular watering. Harvest Brown Spanish Onion when the green onion tops start to wilt and turn brown. This onion variety performs well in pots and containers.

Sow seeds direct or raise seedlings in a protected area (in a greenhouse or indoors). Sow seeds approximately 5 to 6mm deep. Keep soil moist. If raising seedlings, transplant out when seedlings are around 6 to 10cm tall. Start seeds in autumn and winter*. Germination occurs within 7 to 10 days, at an ideal temperature of 20 to 25°C. Leave 10cm between transplanted seedlings or sown seeds, and approximately 30cm between rows of Brown Spanish Onion. Brown Spanish Onion reaches full maturity after around 180 days.
