Onion 'Rossa Lunga di Firenze'

15 SEEDS This is a must-have! It is a delicious salad onion with juicy, mild, crisp flesh. The bulbs are red and elongated, perfect harvested when young. As they mature the flavour gets stronger. If sowing directly outdoors the soil needs to be well prepared and warm. Once the plants have started growing it is important to keep them as weed-free as possible (all onions and garlic need this) and mulch them to conserve moisture (keeping the mulch away from their tender stems). I sow mine in wide cell trays and gently raise them up from the bottom to plant them. As with all members of the onion family it is important to keep them as weed-free as possible. Space plants and rows 20cm apart.
