HEIRLOOM.

Red Torpedo, an Italian heirloom onion variety, is a delectable choice suited for compact garden areas, thanks to its elongated shape that fits well in narrow rows. Featuring sweet and mild flesh complemented by stunning purple-red skins, these onions add a delightful touch to any dish. With the potential to reach lengths of up to 6 inches. Red Torpedo onions thrive particularly well in areas with intermediate and short daylight conditions. 700mg ~ 200 seeds.

GROWING TIPS

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).
