Has anyone grown these? They were all my local Wilko's had in.
I haven't grown the myself, but I understand they are a less bolt prone than Red Baron. I grew the red 'Electric' last year and got a good crop, I had trouble tracking some sets down last autumn and ended up getting a small bag of 50 from eBay!
we got these from wilkies, looking forward to seeing if they bolt , the red baron did last year so, got to be an improvement :)
I grew them last year,very good red onion and still eating them now.
Bought some too.
Might be worth a look, I haven't got any reds yet.
My Red Baron bolted too, got about 5 from a bag of 50. ::)
I grow them from seed every year, they stand up well to most things and I have never had a problem with them bolting unlike Red Baron.
That's good, then!
they were actually cheaper at our allotment shop today, 75p against wilkies 1.00, couldn't believe it ;D

I had great success with my Red Baron last year, this is a good average sample. We've only just finished them.

I was so impressed I've bought a full kilo of sets to put in this year... Along with a kilo of Sturon.
