A traditional long-keeping variety, it combines excellent storage qualities with a rich, sweet flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe firm bulbs are wonderfully versatile in the kitchen. Their full onion flavour becomes increasingly sweet with cooking, making them particularly good for roasting, caramelising, soups, sauces, stews and slow-cooked dishes. They can also be sliced fresh wherever a robust traditional onion is wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating around Parma in northern Italy, Golden of Parma is an old regional variety valued for both eating quality and its ability to store through the colder months. Long-keeping onions such as this were particularly important historically, providing households with a dependable vegetable well beyond the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden of Parma is a \u003cstrong\u003elong-day onion\u003c\/strong\u003e, requiring the longer daylight hours of late spring and summer to initiate and develop good bulbs. It is therefore best suited to cooler southern regions of Australia where summer days are sufficiently long for reliable bulb formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnions have been cultivated since ancient times, with their origins generally traced to Central and Southwest Asia. Their versatility and ability to store for extended periods made them an important staple crop throughout the ancient world and eventually led to the enormous diversity of regional varieties grown today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 240–400 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Not recommended for reliable bulb production\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Generally not suited as a bulbing onion\u003cbr\u003eMild southern climates: Winter to early spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Winter to early spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5–10 mm deep into prepared soil, seedbeds or trays.
