Elsoms has an excellent range of allium species from the Bejo/De Groot en Slot breeding partnership. The onion programme continues to expand and add to our portfolio of products, with new varieties coming through trialling all the time. Recent successes include downy mildew resistant variety Hylander, in addition to the early maturing Hysky. We also work closely with the English Set Company who are licensed to grow and distribute our onion set varieties in the UK.
