Salad Bunching/Onion Ramrod (AGM)
Vegetable Seeds from Sow Seeds Ltd
Salad Bunching/Onion Ramrod is a distinct salad onion that has proved itself in the marketplace. Very versatile, being used for both spring and autumn production. Ramrod is winter hardy, making it a good variety for drilling in the autumn.
The plants have long white stems, green tops and a mild, sweet taste. They can be grown directly in the ground and also in trays, as deep soil is not required. A crisp and tasty addition for year-round salads.
Ramrod is also winter hardy, making it a good variety for drilling in the autumn. Additionally, it can be used for producing larger, bolder type salad onions, especially if overwintered and left to develop in the early spring.
