Paris Silverskin Pickling Onions
Paris Silverskin Onion is a classic small-bulbing onion prized for its crisp texture, mild flavour, and uniform white bulbs. Traditionally grown for pickling and baby onions, it performs best when sown closely, producing neat, round bulbs rather than large storage onions. Reliable, quick to mature, and ideal for succession sowing, it’s well suited for kitchen gardens.

    We make every effort to provide British seeds where possible, but in some cases our British Growers are unable to grow in sufficient quantities to meet our demand or the seeds are subject to Plant breeders' rights which means it is only possible for us to buy these seeds from certain non UK sources.
