Red Torpedo is a delicious Italian heirloom onion perfect for small garden spaces – their long shape makes them ideal for planting in tight rows. With sweet, mild flesh and gorgeous purple-red skins, they're a beautiful addition to any meal. They can grow up to 6" long. Well suited for intermediate & short day areas. 1 g ~ 300 seeds.

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-80 degrees. Transplant to the garden about 2-4 weeks before your average last frost. If seedlings begin to tip over, trim tops to 3". The length of summer days provides a trigger for onions to grow bulbs. There are onions that bulb best where summer days are short (low latitudes), intermediate (medium latitudes), or long (high latitudes).
