Rumba Onion Sets – Enhanced Sturon with Improved Vigour and Storage

Rumba Onion Sets are an improved version of the classic Sturon variety, known for their enhanced vigour, uniform globe shape, and superior storage abilities. British-bred and reliable, Rumba onions provide high yields and are perfect for both cooking and eating fresh in salads due to their sweet, mild flavour.

Key Features:

  • Improved Globe Shape: Rumba onions produce large, uniform bulbs with a golden-yellow skin.
  • Enhanced Vigour: This variety boasts improved growth and vigour compared to traditional Sturon types, making it an ideal choice for spring planting.
  • Superior Storage: With thick skins and excellent storage qualities, Rumba onions can last well into the winter months.

Planting and Growing Conditions:

  • Spring Planting: Plant Rumba onion sets between March and April. They thrive in well-drained soil and full sun.
  • Soil Requirements: Plant the sets 3 cm (1 inch) deep, spacing them 10 cm (4 inches) apart. Keep the area weed-free for best results.
  • Care Tips: Water during dry periods and ensure the onions have plenty of light. Avoid planting in freshly manured soil, as this can hinder growth.

Harvest and Storage:

  • Harvest Period: These onions are ready to be havested from July to September. Their robust skins make them perfect for long-term storage.
  • Storage Tips: Store the harvested onions in a cool, dry place for use throughout the winter.
