Notes
'Rossa Lunga di Firenze' onion (Allium 'Rossa Lunga di Firenze') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. The flowers are fragrant and draw bees and butterflies. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
