When you know Onions, you spell flavor "R-e-d K-a-r-m-e-n". Red Karmen Onions (Allium cepa 'Red Karmen') make some of the best slicing-Onion for burgers, salads, sandwiches, and pizza. They have a perfectly balanced sweetness with only a hint of spice and unbelievable crunch. And, of course, Red Karmens add a pop of red-violet to any dish in need of color!
You can expect your Red Karmen Onions to be even in size and ripen in about 80 days after planting. This Onion will develop into plump globes and are slightly ovular and will be ready to harvest in late spring or summer depending upon when you planted them. This vigorous grower can also be used as scallions before they're fully ready to harvest.
These deep-red Onions store well because of their thick outer skin and show superior resistance to downy mildew! These long-day Red Onions are fantastic for cooler northern climate gardens and are ideal throughout all of the USDA growing zones 1 to 11. Need to find your hardiness zone? Use our map to locate yours!
Landscape Application:
The Onion tops will grow quickly in the cool weather and the bulbs will develop below ground. If you planted them too close together, you can simply pull out any that are too close and use them as Green Onions or Spring Onions and leave the ones spaced out better to develop large bulbs.
Whether you've been gardening for decades or you're just beginning, grow these easy-to-grow vegetables in rows throughout your Vegetable and Kitchen Gardens. Or in smaller gardens can grow these space-saving vegetables in containers on a balcony or in raised beds if you have poor drainage or no garden room.
- Ideal Red Onion
- Beautiful Purple Flesh
- Well-Balanced Sweet & Spicy
- 80 Days to Maturity
- Great In Garden Beds, Raised Beds & Containers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
These easy-to-grow Onions are a favorite for beginner gardeners and experts alike. Plant them early in the cool spring weather, as soon as your soil can be worked. They thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil. Simply till or fluff your soil then plant your onions a few inches apart. Water them regularly and as needed to keep the plants stress-free
It is best to wait to harvest the large Onions until their foliage browns. Once their tops wilt and turn brown, it's time to harvest your sweet, stunning onions. Locate the Onions beneath the dried foliage, then gently pry them out with a spade or spading fork.
You can let them sit on top of the soil in the sun for a few days to help dry the roots down before tying the tops together in bunches and hanging them to dry in your garage to hand for a while. Then store until you're ready to eat them.
