100-120 days. This high-yielding red onion produces large, firm bulbs with a glossy, purple-red skin and pink-tinged flesh. The flavor is pungent, yet not too spicy. Good for Northern gardens, a long day type. One of the best red onions for storage

Onions are a hardy crop adapted to a wide range of growing conditions. Day length is important in variety selection of bulbing onions. Growers north of 38 degrees should plant long day varieties as early as possible to achieve full size prior to maturity. Growers south of 38 degrees should plant short day or intermediate day varieties as these need less day length to reach full size. See our onion chart for more information about latitude ranges and planting dates. Onions are an acid sensitive crop and grow best on fertile, well drained soils with a pH of 6–6.8. Shallow roots require light, frequent irrigations when plants are young. Stop watering when bulbs have reached full size and the tops drop.
Grow Guide Seed:
Begin direct seeding spring crops 4-6 weeks before the last frost; fall crops 6-12 weeks before the first fall frost. Germination occurs when soil temperatures are 50–85°F. Direct seed in a 2 inch wide band, ¼ inch deep, ½ inch between seeds, allowing 12-18 inches between rows. Thin to one plant every 3-5 inches for bulbing types, 1-2 inches apart for scallions. To start indoors, sow spring plantings indoors 7-9 weeks before the last frost for transplanting 3 weeks after last frost. Scatter seeds across an open flat or 4 inch pot, ¼ inch deep, ½ inch between seeds. Harden off for two weeks prior to transplanting. When seedlings are 10-12 weeks old, tease apart crowded plants and place one plant every 3-5 inches in a 3-4 inch deep trench, filling soil back in to the original soil level. Keep consistently watered and well weeded.
