Red Carpet Onion Seeds offer excellent yields and feature robust, tightly packed, red skins, allowing them to maintain their quality for an extended period. With a globe-shaped form, these bulbs reach a size of three to four inches and exhibit a rounded shoulder. The deep red color of the skin extends to the interior layers, further enhancing its visual appeal. Additionally, this variety demonstrates intermediate resistance to Pink Root, a common onion disease. This long-day storage onion variety requires 14 to 16 hours of daylength to initiate bulb formation.
