Rossa di Milano Onion

Rossa di Milano is an Italian heirloom onion that was grown for centuries in Milan. Later it traveled other parts of Europe and wherever migrating families went around the world. This variety is loved for its flavor which is rich and sweet with a pungent aroma, and also because the bulbs store well. Chefs love the flavor of this variety. The beautiful bulbs are flattened on top, and have angular shoulders, making them look almost heart shaped. Grown in latitudes 35 to 50 degrees, they can be considered long to intermediate day onions. Plant in all but the most southern and northern parts of the US. 105 days.
