The main culprits for bolting are the red ones! This has always been true as I tried some last year thinking they may have gotten their act together after over 20 years of selling them they haven't! I have now given up on red onions from sets,but prefer the torpedo shaped red onions grown from seed anyway.
Normal sets are easy and cheap. I can usually bargain for about 10% of them bolting, which I can live with!
I haven't tried heat treated sets as they are stupidly expensive and the extra price would not cover the 10% expected loss?
What nmassively boosts the price up is the delivery charges, hence the reason I have already purchased my 100 x Centurian F1 onion set at a bargain delivery price of £1.30!
