105 days. Allium cepa. Open Pollinated. Walla Walla Onion. The plant produces excellent yields of large white onions. Perfect for soups, salads, and cooking. The Spanish type onion is very sweet and very mild. Bulbs can reach 2 lbs. If you like sweet onions like the ones grown in Vidalia, Georgia but don't have the short day climate required to grow them, you'll love this ultra-mild variety from Washington State! Maturing up to 2 weeks sooner than other Spanish types. Does well in the Northwest. Very cold hardy. An excellent choice for home gardens and market growers. Long day variety.

Onions seeds should be planted indoors 6 to 8 weeks before ground can be worked. You can also plant seeds directly in the garden. Spring planting should occur as soon as soil can be worked. Keep free from weeds. You need long sunny days to grow large onions. Shallots are very close to garlic and are very easy to grow. Plants can grow 8 to 12" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep seedlings and transplants consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro every 2 weeks.

Harvest Tips:

You can harvest onion for their green stems (scallions) at anytime. Cut the green stems with garden scissors when tops are 4 - 8" tall. For bulb product, let the tops dry up themselves before digging them up. Spread bulbs on ground for 3 to 5 days to cure.
