Walla Walla Sweet Onion

Heirloom. The pride of Washington state, this globe-shaped onion is exceptionally mild and makes jumbo- to colossal-sized bulbs with light brown skin and pretty white flesh. Sweetest of all the long-day varieties, it is the only long-day that comes close to matching the sweetness of Georgia Sweet. Exceptionally mild flavor. Will keep for a month. Delicious for fresh slices on sandwiches. Developed in the late 1800s, it still earns a place on the table.

Sweet Jumbo Onion

Also called Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion. Large, globe-shaped yellow-skinned onion with a crisp, firm white flesh that keeps well. A long day onion, it develops late in the season in the North. In the South it makes scallions, or fresh green onions, when planted as a fall onion. Needs 13 hours or more of day length for best bulb development. Make sure the thick, heavy neck dries well, and it will store for several months in a cool, dry place. Tolerant to pink root.

Late White Onion

Also called White Sweet Spanish Onion. This is a long-day type best suited to Northern regions but grown as a fall onion in the South, where it makes good scallions, or fresh green onions, during the short days of winter. Late White Onion bulbs are large, white, and globe-shaped. They are also easy to peel and have a mild taste that cooks love.

Georgia Sweet (Yellow Granex) Onion
