This onion has a spicy, Cajun type flavor and can be added to any dish for a bolder experience. Red Creole onions are small to medium in size with pungent red-purple flesh and tolerant to disease with very little bolt resistance, so planting these onions plants a bit later will decrease the number of bulbs that bolt.. Well adapted to all short day growing areas. At maturity, you will find yourself with a dark-red, globe-shaped, pungent onion about 3-4 inches in diameter. Once planted by transplant, they take about 110 days until harvest and then can be stored for approximately 6-7 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Red Creole Onion Plants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50 plants per package:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start your onion patch with young plants rather than sowing seed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpicy, pungent flavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enjoy harvested bulbs fresh in sandwiches and salads or add bold, Cajun-style flavor to cooked dishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark-red bulbs with red-purple flesh:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grow globe-shaped onions about 3–4 inches in diameter, with approximately 110 days from transplanting to harvest and storage potential of 6–7 months.
