Description

Allium cepa (Onion) Magnate F1 (1,000 seeds) – Intense purple-red, aromatic onion.

Allium cepa 'Magnate F1' is a high-quality, mid-late red onion that excels in color, flavor, and storage quality. This hybrid variety produces intensely purplish-red onions with a mild, aromatic flavor and a beautiful internal ring structure. With 1,000 seeds, this variety is ideal for both hobby gardeners and professional growers looking for a reliable and visually appealing onion variety.

Deep red color and refined taste

What makes the Magnate F1 special is its intense purple-red color, both on the outside and the inside. The onions have a beautiful pattern of red rings, making them not only flavorful but also visually appealing in dishes.

The taste is mild and aromatic, making this onion perfectly suited for both raw and cooked applications. In salads, it provides a fresh, slightly sweet touch, while in hot dishes it retains its mild character without becoming too sharp.

Strong growth and uniform yield

The Magnate F1 produces round, firm onions with an average weight of approximately 140 grams. Thanks to uniform bulb formation and consistent growth, this variety is particularly suitable for a uniform harvest. The plants develop vigorously and healthily, contributing to a high yield and reliable cultivation results.

With a growth period of approximately 130 days after sowing, this onion belongs to the mid-late varieties. This means that it is ready for harvest slightly later than early varieties, but this is more than compensated for by the quality and storage capacity.

Excellent storage quality without leakage

A major advantage of Allium cepa 'Magnate F1' is its excellent storage capacity. These onions have a very long shelf life and, moreover, possess an important characteristic: they do not tend to sprout during storage. This makes them particularly suitable for long-term storage, without loss of quality or usability.

Thanks to the firm structure and healthy growth, the onions remain firm, juicy, and flavorful for a long time. This makes the Magnate F1 an excellent choice for those who want to store onions for later use or sale.

Harvest and cultivation planning

The harvest of fully ripened Magnate F1 onions takes place from mid-August. Due to its medium-late ripening, this onion combines well with other crops in a crop rotation plan and can serve as a reliable late harvest.

By sowing between February and April, you can optimally align growth with the season. The predictable development time makes it easy to plan the harvest.

Sowing method and cultivation advice

The Magnate F1 is suitable for direct sowing in open ground. Sow from February to April in rows approximately 25 cm apart. Within the row, maintain a distance of 8 to 10 cm between plants. This planting distance ensures that the onions have sufficient space to develop properly.

A sunny location and well-draining, fertile soil are essential for optimal growth. Regular watering during dry periods supports even development and prevents growth stress.

Versatile use in the kitchen

The Magnate F1 is a versatile red onion that can be used in numerous dishes. Thanks to its mild flavor and beautiful color, it is ideal for:

  • Salads and cold dishes
  • Sandwiches and wraps
  • Grilled and stir-fried dishes
  • Decorative applications in the kitchen

The striking color makes every dish visually more appealing.
