Growing this Dutch red onion is a rewarding path for any gardener who wants to try a quality colourful variety of kitchen vegetable. After sowing, the seeds develop best in warmed substrate, and young seedlings gradually form their first spiky leaves, from which full plants develop throughout the season, producing underground dark red onions. The variety appreciates sunny locations with well-drained nutritious soil, where it has enough space for the development of both the root system and the onions themselves. The dark skin colour makes this variety a popular component of vegetable salads, providing a colourful contrast and a pronounced flavour note, but it is also useful in stews, marinades, or during grilling. Regular watering during dry periods, moderate fertilisation during the growing season, and a sunny position support stable plant development and the production of quality onions. Harvesting takes place when the above-ground part begins to naturally dry out and the onions are fully developed. After harvesting, it is advisable to briefly dry the onions and store them in a cool, dry place for long-term use. The higher number of seeds in the package allows for dividing the sowing into several stages, thus extending the harvest period. For every lover of classic Dutch vegetable varieties, the onion Rouge Foncé de Hollande represents an interesting choice with distinct utility and aesthetic value in the kitchen.
