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.
