Botanical Interests Packet

This Italian heirloom has been available to gardeners since the late 1800s but is hard to find in stores. A gourmet “cipollini” (meaning “little onion” in Italian) type, the beautiful, flattened red globes are 1″ high by 2″ – 3″ in diameter. Their sweet flavor is delicious fresh or cooked – perfect for roasting and grilled kebabs.
