Redwing produces firm, round bulbs with brilliant maroon skin that becomes paler toward the center. The mild flavor works well in salads and sandwiches, while the mature bulbs store for months.
Sow indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost or outdoors in early to mid-spring once the soil reaches at least 55°F. Transplant or thin seedlings 2–6 inches apart, stop watering before harvest, and cure pulled bulbs until the necks are dry.
