By far our favorite onion to grow. So sweet and crisp!

As another one said it is helpful for staggering onion harvest it warm areas. I am in Central Florida and planted these about 2 months after my short day onions and am currently getting a nice second crop. They aren’t too big mainly because it was an experiment in extending the season. Next year will give them full care. I planted short day in Dec and these in February and early March.

I have planted these onions in northern KY for 5 or 6 years now and they are great. I am currently still using them but they have begun sprouting so I monitor and freeze any that begin to grow. I keep them in single layer bread trays stacked in dark pantry with a small fan circulating the air. I gave them as gifts to Christmas guest and family. They were a top seller for me at Farmer’s Market. I now order for many neighbors and friends the first week in March and plant by March 15th.

This is the third summer I will be growing these. I’ll never choose another. I’m in Kansas City Missouri, zone 5. I planted April 25 last summer. No problems with growing these whatsoever. It’s currently mid January and I’m still cooking daily with my onions, as well as the red candy onions. Some might be getting a little soft, but most not!

Planted mid January in South Carolina, perhaps a bit late, but these did fantastic! Flung their roots down fast, withstood all the winds and rain. Huge, heavy, massive bulbs. Great flavor for caramelized onions. Held up to the crazy spring whiplash weather, with only slightly crispy tips. Won’t try curing outdoors again though, too humid. Planting these again!
