Allium, Onion Red 'Burgundy' (Short Day)
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
Favored as a reliable slicing onion, Red Burgundy produces 4″ red, flattened bulbs with mild, sweet, pink flesh. Perfect for topping a burger or in salads. A short day variety that is resistant to pink rot and botrytis blight (gray mold). Stores well.
Onions prefer fertile soil with an abundance of regular water for best growth. They are shallow-rooted, so keep them well weeded to prevent competition. Sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked and plant successive crops every few weeks for a continuous supply. Onions have stopped growing when the leaves turn yellow and flop over. Harvest on a sunny day, and leave in a sunny place to cure for about one week.
