About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern red hybrid onion, valued for its strong dark red skin and its good tolerance of downy mildew, a real advantage especially in wet summers. The pink and white ringed flesh is mild and works beautifully raw in salads. It stores markedly better than most red varieties and keeps its colour. As an F1 hybrid you raise it from bought seed, not from your own saved stock.
Mild and slightly sweet with a restrained bite, the red variety for eating raw that still keeps well.
