Grow vibrant, sweet slicing onions with Red Burgundy Onion Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds.

Mild, Sweet Flavor for Fresh Eating:
Red Burgundy onions are known for their gentle sweetness and crisp texture, making them excellent for salads, sandwiches, garnishes, and fresh recipes. Their flavor deepens when harvested young, giving gardeners flexibility in how they enjoy the crop.
Striking Red Color and Reliable Performance:
This short-day onion develops beautiful reddish-purple skins that contrast with its light, rose-tinted interior. In suitable climates, Red Burgundy matures into uniform 4-inch bulbs, making it a dependable choice for gardeners who want attractive, flavorful onions with minimal effort.
Why Customers Love Red Burgundy Onion:
- Mild, sweet flavor ideal for slicing and fresh dishes
- Glossy red bulbs with white flesh and pink rings
- Short-day variety suited to southern regions
- Attractive 4-inch bulbs when grown in proper day length
- Flexible harvest timing for milder or more intense flavor
How to Grow:
Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date, keeping seedlings evenly moist and well lit. Transplant outdoors once soil can be worked and frost danger has passed. Red Burgundy performs best in regions with short-day conditions, forming bulbs when day length reaches 10–12 hours. Plant in loose, well-drained soil with full sun, water consistently, and keep the bed weed-free to support strong bulb development. Harvest early for a bolder flavor or allow bulbs to size up fully before lifting.
