Follow these simple steps for a bountiful and tasty harvest:\n\n Sowing: Direct sowing in open ground is recommended between March and April (for summer harvest) or in August-September (for spring harvest). Place the seeds about 1-2 cm deep, keeping a distance of 10-15 cm between plants and 30-40 cm between rows. \nSoil: Prefers loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Good drainage is essential to avoid waterlogging, which can compromise the bulb's growth.\n Exposure: Requires full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day to fully develop its flavor and color.\n Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods and while the bulbs are swelling, but avoid overwatering, which could cause rot. Reduce watering as the bulbs mature.\n Care: Weed regularly to eliminate weeds that may compete with young plants for nutrients and water.\n Harvest: The bulbs are ready to harvest when the leaves begin to yellow and dry, usually between July and September for spring plantings. Let the onions dry in the sun for a few days before storing them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place for long-term storage.\n \nCultivate the magic of Calabria in your garden with the Long Red Tropea Onion: a touch of sweetness and color that will revolutionize your kitchen!","brand":"Botanis.it","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52995723755859,"sku":"1770806715940","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/5301\/1539\/files\/unnamed_f92fd66c-8977-419a-b6d6-15ebf612324b.jpg?v=1770807212","url":"https:\/\/botanis.it\/en\/products\/cipolla-tropea-rossa-lunga-30-semi-forma-cilindrica-dolcissima-gourmet-facile-da-coltivare-alta-germinabilita-non-gmo","provider":"Botanis - Vendita semi online di piante rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
