Onion Redwing Hybrid
Alternating rings of red and white in every thick, firm maroon globe!
Superior appearance, holding and storage abilities, and flavor!
100 to 120 days. Simply the best long-day (Northern) red onion we have ever grown! Redwing Hybrid is an all-around high performer, from appearance to flavor, and it holds well both before and after harvest. The 2 3/4- to 3 1/2-inch-diameter globes are deep maroon-skinned, with juicy, firm, thick rings of alternating red and white. Enjoy a heavy, long, and very delectable harvest with ultra-reliable Redwing Hybrid!
Start seed indoors in early spring for summer harvest in the north. Begin them in flats 8 weeks before expected transplant into the garden. Space seedlings 2 to 3 inches apart in the garden. If you want crisp, tender green onions, harvest the bulbs just after the swelling begins. For mature bulbs, wait until the tops fall over after the growing season. Then dig up the bulbs, cure for 3 weeks, and store in a cool, dry place. Pkt is about 200 seeds, which sows 30 feet of row if started indoors (less if direct-sown, because the seedlings will be thinned).
