Who it's for Perfect for home gardeners in northern and central regions who want a mild, sweet white onion for fresh use, garnishes, and general cooking. How & when to plant Start onion seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost, or direct sow once the soil is workable. Sow 1/4 inch deep and thin to 3–4 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches apart. Give full sun (6+ hours) and consistent moisture in loose, fertile soil. As a long-day type it grows best in USDA zones 3–7. Harvest Bulbs mature in about 110–120 days. Harvest once the tops yellow and topple over, cure the bulbs in a dry, airy place for 2–3 weeks, then store necks-dry in a cool, dark spot. Benefits & uses Its mild sweetness makes it a favorite for raw slices in salads, tacos, and sandwiches, and it softens into a gentle, savory base for soups and sautés. The clean white color is attractive on the plate and in the kitchen. Growing guide: New to this variety?
