- Position: full sun
- Soil: fertile, well-drained, medium to light soil
Gorgeous burgundy-red bulbs with a topknot of deep green which look fabulous on the plot or as edging to a flower or herb bed.

Instead of thinning seedlings, pull alternate onions for eating as they grow, leaving those remaining in the ground with room to get bigger.
- Sow: February-July
- Harvest: April-September
- Approximate quantity: 250 seeds
- Pets: TOXIC if eaten
