Onion Red Brunswick
Red Brunswick is a classic, reliable European heirloom onion dating back to 1870. It produces medium-to-large, beautiful bulbs with a slightly flattened shape. This variety is famous for its deep blood-red skin and crisp white flesh that features striking crimson rings inside. It is a favourite among home gardeners because it looks stunning, tastes great, and keeps exceptionally well after harvest.
Mild, sweet, and crisp. Excellent for eating raw without a heavy aftertaste. Performs best in cool and temperate climates.

Because the wild onion is extinct and ancient records of using onions span western and eastern Asia, the geographic origin of the onion is uncertain, although domestication likely took place in Southwest or Central Asia. Onions have been variously described as having originated in Iran, western Pakistan and Central Asia.
Germination: Optimal Soil temperature is 22 to 24 C (around 10-14 days to germination)
