Onion 'Toughball' F1 is the best over winter Japanese type onion from seed. It is a high yielding, medium early variety, producing good quality, globe shaped bulbs.

Toughball has good tolerance of Botrytis and Downy Mildew - essential for overwintered onions.

Recommended as a fine, fast growing variety ideal for the Exhibition market. Produces very uniform, round medium to large globes with strong skin. Firm flesh, high yielding and strong against bolting.

A great kitchen onion for early onions in July/August. Onion Toughball F1 has won the UK National Vegetable Society Championships many times as a show onion, unbeatable when grown well.

This variety matures several weeks earlier and they give you the head start you need to get an extra finish on them, which wins the shows.

Onions are used in cookery almost on a daily basis and add lots of flavour to many dishes from the humble but tasty cheese & onion toastie to delicious soups, stews and posh nosh, they are a staple ingredient for many dishes.

Growing Tip:
Try growing onions with Mint to confuse and deter onion fly.
