Their juicy, crispy red flesh is perfect for grilling or adding a pop of color and flavor to any dish. The bulbs can be harvested young to use as a salad onion or left to mature for a more pungent flavour in dishes. Space-saving and adaptable, these onions are a must-have for any garden.
An Intermediate Day variety; bulb size increases with longer days that is best used fresh.
