(105-120 Day) The longest-keeping red storage onion. Bulbs store nearly as well as Patterson Hybrid. The glossy, dark red, 3-4" globe-shaped onions are moderately pungent, very firm and have good skin retention. Tops grow upright and strong. Long-day.

Long-day onions perform best in northern regions. They need 14-16 hours of sunlight to produce bulbs. They have greater storage capacity and are more pungent due to their higher sulfur and lower sugar content.

I find it interesting that you would ask for a review of redwing onions when I just recently received the seeds. I have planted redwing in the past and they have been excellent which is why I ordered them again. Ask me to evaluate the crop next august.
