Onion Rossa Lunga di Firenze
Onion (Spring) Rossa lunga di Firenze Seeds
Botanical Name: Allium cepa
350 Seeds
A mild salad onion which becomes increasingly pungent as the bulbs mature, can be used at any stage. Often roasted on skewers to retain its unusual 'bottle' shape.
Outdoors: sow thinly, February-June, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-dug, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 15cm (6") between rows. Early and late sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. For spring onions, no thinning is required, but keep well watered in dry spells. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply through the summer. Harvest: April-October. For bulb onions, sow no later than April. Thin seedlings to 8cm (3") apart. Harvest: From July onwards.
Genus: Onions & Leeks
