Long Red Florence (Long Day)

The Long Red Florence is a very rare, hard to find, onion from Italy. It's an Heirloom onion seed from the 1800s. This, like every seed we carry, is Non-GMO and ready to grow. This is a long day or a day-neutral onion that will overwinter in zones 6b and above. For basic growing guidelines allow 7 to 10 days for germination; don't over seed and allow for the bulbs to form. You can get shallots in 50 or 60 days and 75 to 85 days for big, long 4 to 6 inch bulbs about 1 - 2 inches wide. We recommend drying out in the sun for a few days to make for longer storage. The long red Florence has a mild, not an overpowering, wonderful flavor as well as very eye-catching, colorful slices. We also recommend succession planting so you can have some from spring to fall. 

Hope everyone has great crops 

Long Red Florette Long Day Onion is a great way to serve as an excellent source of protein and fiber. It's a richly flavored and highly nutritious snack that can be eaten in the form of fried rice or any other type of meat or vegetable that is cooked on it’s own for a quick meal before being cooked with other proteins and vegetables such as carrots, celery seeds, broccoli grasses (greens) or chicken. The flavor will be very mild when cooked to perfection!
