Description

Bassano is a very attractive red onion with a sweet and crispy texture. Very mild, it is great for salads and sandwiches, and won't make you cry when you slice it.

For larger onions at harvest time, start seed indoors in flats and transplant in early spring. Otherwise, plant as early in spring as ground can be worked. Sow seed 13mm (1/2in) deep and 13mm (1/2in) apart. Some people like to sow tiny blocks of onion seed, about 3 to 5 per block and plant them out as clumps - as the bulbs form and grow larger, they push each other apart. This is an easier way to do it than to thin traditionally.
