(Italian Red Onion)  A sweet onion, red on the outside with internal lavender rings.  Excellent for braising, where it develops a lovely syrup, or for fresh use, sliced thinly atop the salad.  Red Savonese reach 3 inches in diameter at full maturity, and they do store well.  They also make a delightful fresh onion, harvested earlier in the season for spring and summer use.  Sow in flats or directly in the garden.  Thin or transplant to 6 inches apart.
