Famous Italian Onion - Tropea Rossa Tonda Onion is a long day variety from the Calabria region of Italy with a yearly festival in its honor, the Sagra della Cipolla di Tropea. This heirloom is early maturing and best planted in early spring. Long day onions require 14-16 hours of sun to reach full size, so this is a good choice for a cooler growing zone.Sweet and Flavorful - Tropea Rossa Tonda Onions produce a generous harvest of deep red, globe-shaped onions that are completely white when harvested at baby stage, but mature to a lovely rose-red color. Their high sugar content makes the onions exceptionally sweet. - delicious when eaten fresh in for salads, or cooked by grilling, roasting, or caramelizing.
