Onion 'Red Torpedo'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Red Torpedo is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Red Torpedo needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

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

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