For fresh salads and colourful home cooking, American Sweet Burgundy is a red onion variety grown for its mild flavour, attractive skin and burgundy ringed flesh. The bulbs are usually slightly flat rather than globe shaped, making them excellent for slicing into salads, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, relishes, pickles and summer dishes where both colour and sweetness matter. Grow from seed in a sunny vegetable bed, raised bed or allotment row, giving plants enough space to develop medium sized bulbs rather than crowding them too tightly. Unlike stronger storage onions, this type is best enjoyed fresh after harvest, so it suits gardeners who want red salad onions for seasonal kitchen use. Start seeds under cover for an early crop, or sow outdoors in spring once the soil is workable and warming.
