ONION RED SKIN PUNNET

Red Skin Onions are a popular and versatile edible garden staple, valued for their rich colour, crisp texture and mild-to-medium flavour. Ideal for home vegetable gardens, they are easy to grow and highly productive, making them a must-have for kitchen gardeners of all levels.

These onions develop attractive deep red-purple skins with firm white flesh, perfect for salads, cooking, roasting and pickling. Red onions are especially prized for fresh use, adding colour and flavour to everyday meals.

Best grown in full sun with well-drained soil, red skin onions thrive in cooler growing conditions and reward gardeners with reliable harvests. Suitable for garden beds, raised beds and large containers, they are a great choice for seasonal planting.
