Onion - Rosa Lunga Di Firenze - Juicy aromatic bulbs - Fresh Seeds

The Rosa Lunga Di Firenze onion is an exceptionally tasty, early, and highly prolific variety. It produces long, elongated bulbs with pink-red scales that delight not only with their beautiful colour but above all with their delicate, slightly sweet flavour. This onion brings a distinct character to dishes, making it ideal for salads, grilling, roasting, and stewing. Thanks to its mild aroma, it pairs perfectly with vegetables, meat, and cheeses. This variety is not only a plate decoration but also a valuable source of vitamins and minerals supporting a healthy, balanced diet.

Sowing depth

Seeds are sown at a depth of 1 to 2 cm. This depth guarantees even emergence and a well-developed root system, which translates into substantial and healthy plants.

Sowing time for direct sowing

The best time for sowing directly into the ground is the period from April to May, when the soil is already warmed and moist. In such conditions, seeds germinate quickly, and seedlings develop evenly.

Sowing time under cover

For earlier harvests, it is worth sowing seeds under covers from February to March. Seedlings obtained in this way are stronger, well-rooted, and ready for transplanting to a permanent place after the frosts have subsided.

Planting time

Seedlings of this onion variety are planted into the ground from April to May, once the risk of frost has passed. Young plants take root quickly in the substrate and grow dynamically.

Spacing

During planting, it is recommended to maintain intervals of 25 cm between rows and 3 to 5 cm between plants. Such spacing provides the onions with appropriate space for growth and ensures ease of care and harvesting for the gardener.

Harvest time

Harvests fall from July to September. At this time, the bulbs reach full size, intense pink-red colour, and excellent taste maturity. After drying, they can be stored for a long time without losing quality.

Cultivation

The Rosa Lunga Di Firenze onion grows best in a sunny place, sheltered from strong winds. It requires fertile, humus-rich, slightly loamy soil with good permeability. Before sowing, it is worth enriching the substrate with compost or well-decomposed manure. After emergence, plants sown too densely should be thinned so they have enough space to develop. Regular weeding, moderate watering, and avoiding excess nitrogen will allow for obtaining bulbs with beautiful colour and durable flesh. It is a low-maintenance variety, so it works great in both home gardens and allotments.
