Onion Rossa lunga di Firenze

An elongated onion, in a splendid carmine red colour. Can be harvested fairly early and produces enormous onions. They have a pleasantly strong taste. Sow thinly directly in the garden in rows (row distance 25 cm and plant distance 20 cm), and cover the seed well. Keep the soil moist constantly. After emergence do not thin out too much. Lightly fertilize the soil, preferably with compost. Harvest the onions once the foliage has died off. Allow the onions and foliage to dry on the field for 1 week. Not suitable for long storage.
