This is a long‑day onion variety well‑suited to northern regions, producing large, globe‑shaped bulbs in about 120 days. Plants develop strong, sizable tops, making them excellent for grilling whole or using the greens in soups, salads, and general cooking. Its robust size and versatile flavor make it a favorite for both fresh and cooked dishes.
- Planting: Plant onions in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Choose a sunny location with moist, fertile soil to support strong bulb and top growth.
- Care: Because onions are shallow‑rooted, the soil must remain consistently moist, so water regularly and evenly to prevent stress and ensure proper bulb development. Feed plants with a low‑nitrogen fertilizer
- Harvest: Onions may be harvested early as bunching onions, or allowed to mature and pulled once the outer skins develop and begin to dry.
