About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

An old Austrian landrace from the Weinviertel with flat round, red brown bulbs and a strongly spicy aroma. It stores outstandingly well and was once considered the winter storage onion par excellence. Because it is open pollinated, you can save your own seed every year and keep the variety going. A piece of garden history that grows robustly and brings plenty of flavour to the kitchen.

Hearty and assertive, a storage onion with character for substantial dishes and long keeping.
