description
The 'Rossa di Milano' onion is as appealing for the elegance of its deep red bulbs as it is for the sweet tenderness of its flesh, highly sought after in the kitchen and the family garden alike. This heirloom variety brings a heritage touch to the garden, while offering a generous and consistent harvest that rewards both novice gardeners and enthusiasts of traditional seeds. Throughout the season, its upright foliage captures the light and signals the formation of firm, tight-necked bulbs, perfect for good preservation. Grown in full sun in loose, well-drained soil, it fully expresses its vigor and appreciable tolerance to cooler climates.

In the kitchen, its mild flavor allows it to be used both raw and cooked, in salads, onion jams, or stews. Its presence in the garden attracts fewer pests from certain neighboring crops and contributes to a balanced garden ecosystem. With its refined appearance, reliable productivity, and storage qualities, 'Rossa di Milano' perfectly embodies the alliance between beauty, utility, and horticultural tradition.
