Red Burgundy onion seeds produce large flattened globes up to 4" in diameter that are beautiful for slicing! These onions are very mild with a sweet flavor and suitable for short term storage. This is a short day variety that matures in 95 to 165 days depending upon planting time, location, and climate. Red Burgundy onions are resistant to Botrytis and Pink Rot.
Red onions originated in central Asia, and are still a favorite choice for the cuisine of east India in particular because of their bright color and pungency.
