California Red

These are small, purple onions. They are not very pungent and are quite sweet. This variety is highly variable in terms of size and shape. Globe, broad elliptic, and ovate onions are all present. They measure 2-3" tall, 2-2.5" wide, and 3-5 oz. These are intermediate day onions that are not well adapted to NE Iowa. The plants have wimpy leaves that flopped prematurely. SSE Accession # 114263
