Allium cepa. Red Burgundy Onion is a short-day heirloom onion that produces attractive, glossy purple-red bulbs with crisp texture and a mild, sweet flavor. The colorful bulbs are excellent for fresh eating, salads, sandwiches, salsas, and cooking.

Red Burgundy performs best in short-day growing regions where bulbing is triggered by shorter daylight hours. Plants grow well in fertile, well-drained soil and produce flattened to globe-shaped red bulbs.

Planting Tips:
Red Burgundy Onions grow best in fertile, well-drained soil and full sunlight. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors once the soil can be worked. Thin seedlings early so the bulbs have room to develop. Because Red Burgundy is a short-day onion, it is best suited to southern and mild-climate growing regions. Harvest when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure the bulbs in a warm, dry, well-ventilated location before storing.

🌱 Great for containers, patios, and small spaces.
