FREE: 20+ Rare Purplette Mini Onion Seeds

The listing, 20+ Rare Purplette Mini Onion Seeds has ended.

Purplette Mini Onion A. cepa (60-65 days). For an exciting new change in your onion bed, grow Purplette, the first purple-red skinned mini onion.

When harvested young, this unique purple-skinned mini onion is picture perfect for bunching or pickling. Allowed to mature it produces 1-2" golf ball size bulbs with a delicate, mild flavor.

Attractive either topped or bunched and can be harvested very young as baby bunching onions with purple pearl ends. Turns pastel pink when cooked or pickled.

They are classified as mini onions as opposed to scallions or bunching onions, perhaps because they form a bulb or perhaps because they are small and take half as long as storage onions to reach eating size.

They have a sweet, light onion flavor and are unusually creamy. When cooked they melt in your mouth.

These seeds were harvested in my own garden this summer. I don't have a lot of these seeds so I may only be offering this once or maybe twice. I also add free surprise bonus seeds to every auction.
