This is a regional red onion variety from Florence in Tuscany. It has a nice, sweet flavour so good to use raw in salads.

The onion is also good for storing in a cool dark pantry or food store.

Sow the seeds thinly and then thin out any seeds in the Spring. They are best grown in moisture retentive soil and in full sun. When te leaves yellow and droop this is a sign they are ready for harvest.

All growing instructions for Franchi seeds are on the back of the pack. Just follow the blue dot symbols.
