A long day, medium large, dark red onion with a mild yet pungent taste that stores very well. It is best planted in spring, harvested in autumn and doesn't mind being planted closely together as its thick flat shape can cope with being crowded. Can be grown as a red bulbing spring onion.
Maturity 120 days from direct sowing.
