Description

Allium cepa ‘Rouge Foncé de Hollande’ is a heritage red onion variety distinguished by its deeply pigmented outer scales and rich, sweet flavor. The bulbs are medium to large, typically round to slightly flattened, with intense crimson to wine-red skin and firm white to pinkish flesh. Known for its excellent storability, this cultivar keeps well after curing and retains flavor over long periods.

Ideal for fresh use, pickling, and cooking, it performs strongly in temperate garden conditions. Plants thrive in full sun, fertile and well-drained soils, and benefit from consistent moisture during bulb formation. Like other onions, it prefers a cool start to growth followed by warmer conditions for bulb development. This classic European variety is prized by gardeners and growers for its combination of beauty, reliability, and culinary quality.

Growing Tips
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Cover seeds lightly with 1/8 to 1/4 inch of soil or seed-starting medium. Maintain soil moisture throughout germination using a spray bottle to avoid waterlogging. Once seedlings emerge, provide 12-16 hours of bright light daily and keep growing temperature at 55-65°F to prevent spindly growth. Thin seedlings to one per cell after germination. Transplant when seedlings reach 3-4 inches tall. Avoid temperatures below 50°F for extended periods to prevent bolting. Onion seeds have short viability; store at temperatures below 40°F for optimal retention up to three years. Do not fertilize until transplanting; onions prefer well-drained fertile soil rich in organic matter.
