POTEMKIN

The Potemkin onion variety is a mid-season type intended for bulb cultivation in a single-season crop. The period from germination to leaf lodging is 105-120 days, allowing for harvest within optimal timing. The bulbs of this variety are flat, dense, with a weight ranging from 70 to 110 grams. Their dry skins are colored red with a pinkish tint, giving them an attractive appearance.

The taste of the Potemkin onion is pleasant, semi-sharp, with a slight sweetness, making it a versatile product for culinary use. It is rich in vitamins and indispensable in traditional Russian cuisine, widely used in salads, seasonings, and various culinary processing methods. Thanks to its taste qualities and nutritional value, this variety is popular among gardeners and chefs.

For successful cultivation of onion sets from seeds, it is recommended to sow them early in spring or in autumn. An important condition is the correct selection of a planting site: the plot should be dry, elevated, and fertile to warm up faster in spring. The bed should not be shaded by trees or tall plants, which promotes accelerated bulb formation. Dense seeding of seeds reduces the feeding area of plants, stimulating the growth rates and formation of commercial bulbs. Storage of the harvest is possible for no more than five months, which should be taken into account when planning usage.
