Welldales German giant Stuttgart onion seeds produce allium cepa ‘Stuttgarter’, a traditional German onion variety also known as Stuttgarter Riesen or Stuttgarter Giant. This reliable heritage onion is popular with home growers for its flat round to globe shaped bulbs, golden brown skin, mild sweet flavour and good storage potential when cured correctly after harvest. It is a useful choice for UK gardeners growing onions from seed in vegetable beds, raised beds, allotments, polytunnels, greenhouse borders and large containers. Sow indoors in late winter or early spring for an earlier start, or direct sow outdoors once the soil has warmed. Grow in a sunny position with fertile, well drained soil and harvest in summer or early autumn when the bulbs are mature and the foliage begins to die back.
