Onion Sets Red Comred (Pack of 75)
Fine Strong Onion Flavor
Red Comred onion sets are a productive and flavorful option for gardeners seeking mild-to-medium onions with beautiful color and excellent eating quality. This long-day variety thrives in northern and central regions, where extended daylight promotes firm bulb development and rich, reddish-purple skins with crisp white flesh accented by pink or purple highlights.
These Dutch-grown sets produce large, flattened globe-shaped bulbs with thin necks and a fine, strong flavor—perfect for fresh slicing into salads and sandwiches, or adding depth to cooked dishes. Vigorous and reliable, they can also be harvested young for use as scallions, offering versatile culinary possibilities. Their strong growth habit and adaptability make them a dependable choice for sustainable and organic gardens.
Plant the sets 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in fertile, well-draining soil. Red Comred onions perform best in full sun with consistent moisture and are hardy in USDA Zones 3–9. With proper curing, they store well, maintaining flavor and texture for months.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
