Red Creole Onion is a hardy, flavourful variety known for its deep red bulbs and strong, slightly pungent taste. It is ideal for cooking, salads, and storage, offering excellent keeping quality.

Growing instructions:
Sow seeds directly into prepared soil or start in trays and transplant once seedlings are established. Plant shallowly and space 10–15 cm apart to allow bulbs to develop properly. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and ensure good drainage to prevent rot. Weed regularly to reduce competition and apply a balanced fertilizer during early growth. Reduce watering as bulbs begin to mature to encourage proper curing. Harvest once the tops fall over and begin to dry, then cure in a warm, airy place before storage.
