"The only truly sweet and mild onion for long summer days in the northern two-thirds of the country. Brought to Washington state from Corsica around the turn of the century. Yellow skin; white, juicy flesh. Not a winter keeper.
HOW TO GROW ONIONS FROM PLANTS OR SETS: Plant as early in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Make furrows about 1? deep, carefully place plants or sets, lightly press in and cover with soil. Space 4-5? apart. Pull green tops as needed for scallions or allow bulbs to mature fully. Sorry plants CANNOT be sent to AK or HI."

"My crop just finished curing, and I'm so happy to report that these onions are simply wonderful! I made both soup and salsa this past weekend, and their addition made the day. It'll be hard to go back to store bought onions after enjoying these beauties!"

"I don't think these are supposed to grow here in North Carolina. They grew to a good size and tasted great, but didn't store well. Those I left in the ground too long, just rotted away. My fault! I'm still looking for an onion with that "old world" flavour that will grow well here."
