Tozer Seeds are continuing to develop new Allium cepa salad onion varieties. The incorporation of winter hardiness into a traditional White Lisbon type was an early success. More recently Ramrod, a winter hardy variety with erect stiffer leaves was released, followed by Eiffel, an erect, stiff leaved, slow to bulb variety for summer use. Our aim is to further develop A. cepa salad onions and improve our interspecific variety Guardsman. We are also active in developing improved A. fistulosum varieties such as Summer Isle.
A. cepa varieties have more leaves and are less pungent than A. fistulosum types. They can be grown past the traditional salad onion stage to produce a small bulb onion.
Guardsman combines the non bulbing qualities of A.fistulosum varieties and the reduced pungency qualities of A. cepa types
