About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Probably the most popular red onion for the home garden, with a deep red skin and flesh coloured intensely red right through, which lifts any salad visually. It is spicier than many other red cultivars and stores surprisingly well for a red onion. Planted as sets from the end of March, it ripens early and reliably. Open pollinated and uncomplicated, a safe bet for colour and flavour in the bed.
Spicy and aromatic with moderate heat and the strong colour that stands out especially raw in a salad.
