Allium, White Onion (Long Day) 'Sweet Spanish' Heirloom

Description

The white Spanish onion plant produces beautiful large one-pound globe style onions. This onion is great for soups and salads requiring a mild onion flavor. Can be picked as bunching onions.

This is a long day variety that requires 14 hours of sunlight per day to set bulbs. Prefers fertile soil with regular water for best growth. Shallow-rooted, so keep well weeded to prevent competition. Sow in early spring as soon as soil can be worked and plant successive crops every few weeks for a continuous supply. Pull onions when they have developed skins and the tops fall over. For storage, cure for 8-10 days before removing tops.
