(115 Day) Our mildest onion. Medium to softball-sized globes have light yellow skin and white flesh. Matures early in northern states, so plant early for the largest size. Comparable to Vidalia, but can be grown more successfully in the Midwest. Stores fairly well. Not pictured. Short-day.
Short-day onions are best for southerly climates. They need 10-12 hours of sunlight to develop bulbs. They are generally sweeter and less pungent in taste due to their higher sugar content and lower sulfur content, which means they don't store as long as others.
Growing Zone: 4 to 10
