Red Creole onions are renowned as the premier short day storage onions, prized for their spicy, authentic Cajun flavor that enriches a wide variety of dishes. These onions develop small to medium globe-shaped bulbs, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, featuring pungent red-purple flesh that adds depth to culinary creations. With excellent disease tolerance and minimal bolt resistance, they perform best when planted slightly later to reduce bolting. Adapted to all short day growing regions, these onions mature in approximately 110 days after transplanting. They store reliably for 6 to 7 months, ensuring a long-lasting harvest. Our Non-GMO seeds maintain sustainability standards, and the packaging is environmentally conscious—reusable, recyclable, and climate-friendly—helping you grow quality onions while supporting eco-friendly practices. With a germination rate of about 80%, these heirloom seeds offer dependable performance for any serious grower. Bring authentic Louisiana flavor home by growing Red Creole onions, the legendary heirloom variety that defines Cajun and Creole cuisine. These distinctive red-purple onions deliver a bold, spicy punch that transforms everyday dishes into something memorable—perfect for gumbo, jambalaya, salsas, and any recipe demanding genuine depth and character. Unlike mild storage onions, Red Creoles pack genuine flavor intensity that intensifies when cooked, making them the preferred choice for serious home cooks and professional chefs alike. The compact 3 to 4-inch bulbs maximize garden space while producing impressive yields, and their exceptional disease resistance means fewer problems and more success. Plant these reliable performers in short-day growing regions and enjoy a harvest that stores beautifully for 6 to 7 months—providing fresh, flavorful onions well into winter.
