Shakespeare C Fall-Planted

Establish your overwintering onions without the time and labor of seedling production. Onion sets allow a wider range of planting dates than fall-sown onions from seed, as the bulb is already established. Originally bred in Great Britain specifically for onion sets, Shakespeare is known for its exceptional bolt tolerance, vigorous growth habit, and wide adaptability. Uniform, sweet, and flavorful, Shakespeare bulbs have excellent storage potential when well-cured. Best at 37° latitude and higher. Sets avg. 11–21 mm. NOTE: Shakespeare onion sets are small dry immature onion bulbs grown the season before. Can also be planted in the spring for "green top" cooking onions. For spring planting, order Shakespeare #6512.
