Description

Cipollini onions are often referred to as summer mini onions. These pretty little Italian onions from Boretto, Italy have a flattened spherical shape and look just like rosy-bronze glossy buttons, each about 1-3″ diameter and 1″ thick. When cooked. Cipollini onions really sweeten up and caramelize to a beautiful color. A unique offering for farmers’ markets. Ideal for braiding. This variety does well in Intermediate and Long Day areas.

Planting
To get the sweetest, crispest cipollini onions, just follow these simple rules: Plant them in full sun and well-drained soil. Weed, and then pre-dig the onion bed to loosen the soil. Dust the bed surface with 1 cup of balanced organic fertilizer per 10 feet of row, and work in 2 or 3 inches of compost.
Harvest Instructions
Members of the onion family generally give a very obvious signal when they are ready to harvest. The tops fall over and the tips of the leaves start to turn brown. In addition, the bulbs are full size. Pull the onions, shake off any soil, but do not wash them or pull off any outside wrapper leaves.
