I have just bought some Red Baron Onions but am unsure when to plant them.
Would be grateful if someone could tell me!!

Re: Red Baron Onions
Red onions generally don't like getting frosted. I wouldn't plant them until about April or even May up here, but you can probably get away with earlier.

Re: Red Baron Onions
If you have a suitable spot (greenhouse, windowsill, etc) you can get a head start by starting them off in module trays...
