Onion 'Shakespeare'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Shakespeare is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will typically do well in a variety of different extremes of cold temperature. Shakespeare needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) between Onion plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Shakespeare about 28 days before your last frost date.

Shakespeare is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
