What’s the difference between Autumn and Spring Growing Onions?

Autumn Growing Onions can be planted in October and November for a month’s earlier harvest (in June) than the Spring planting Sets.

Autumn Onion Sets get a head start on Spring planting sets.

Autumn Champion is the most popular Autumn Onion. It’s is hardy as it is British bred to cope with our wet & cold winter weather.
