Long Storage Red Onions
I've grown Mars for a couple years now, a great onion, but is medium storage. Some of mine started to sprout last month, and the ones that didn't, the core started greening up. I've finished them all now.
So, I need another long-day red for long storage. Has anyone grown the ones advertised as such? Redwing sounds good, as does a couple others. |

Rossa di Milano....Seeds form Italy and Seeds of Change offer it....Probably others too...It is the only red I grow any longer...The size is just average, but I get great storage results from it...

Redwing stores well when properly cured.
