Strong growth and uniform onions

Bolero F1 develops into a robust plant with healthy growth throughout the entire season. The onions are nicely round in shape and reach an average weight of approximately 140 grams at harvest.

Excellent storage quality

One of the greatest advantages of Allium cepa 'Bolero F1' is its excellent storage capacity. These onions have a very long shelf life and retain their quality during a long storage period. This makes them particularly suitable for those who wish to store onions for later use or sale outside the harvest season.

The firm skin and healthy bulb structure contribute to good resistance to spoilage and mold formation. As a result, the onions remain firm, flavorful, and visually appealing for longer.

Harvest and cultivation planning

The harvest of fully ripened Bolero F1 onions takes place from early to mid-August, depending on the sowing time and weather conditions. Thanks to its mid-early development, this onion fits well into various crop rotation plans.

By sowing between February and April, you can optimally align growth with the season. The predictable growth cycle makes it easy to plan the harvest and combine it with other crops in the vegetable garden or in the field.

Sowing method and cultivation advice

The Bolero F1 is suitable for direct sowing in open ground. Sow the seeds in rows with a spacing of 25 to 30 cm between them. Within the row, maintain a distance of approximately 8 to 10 cm between the plants. This generous planting distance ensures that the onions can develop well and have sufficient room to grow into full bulbs.

Preferably choose a sunny location and well-draining, nutritious soil. Regular care, such as watering during dry periods and keeping it free of weeds, contributes to optimal growth and yield.

Versatile in use

The Allium cepa 'Bolero F1' is a versatile onion suitable for a wide range of culinary applications. Thanks to its firm texture and pleasant taste, this onion can be used both raw and cooked. Think of salads, soups, stews, or as a flavoring in various dishes.
