Onion, Rose De Roscoff

$3.75

350+ seeds. A nice rare heirloom onion from France with a very interesting history. Historically braided and sold door to door to English households by the French Farmers off of bicycles loaded with onion braids. Supposedly those farmers, dressed in black and white striped shirts and berets, created the that stereotype of frenchmen as they were such a common sight. Tasty light pink onions. Apparently keeps well. It took me a number of years and three batches of seed imported from Europe to get these things going. The first two batches failed completely. Now it is available from at least one other seller in the U.S., but mine are cheaper :)
