This sweet onion is so much loved in the US, that it has been a contender for the role of ''vegetable mascot'' for Washington State. It's as sweet as its name suggests, and it's a true heirloom that originated in Corsica. Unlike other onions, it's easygoing about season. Sow it in spring or autumn, but do expect sharper flavour from winter-grown onions and more sweetness from your summer crop. Will it be your vegetable mascot? If you're an onion enthusiast, it might just win the crown!

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Onion seeds germinate easily provided they are not planted too deeply, so sow thinly to limit the need for thinning when planting direct. Cover with fine soil or potting medium to a maximum depth of 5mm and keep moist. Germination is faster at warmer temperatures, but soil temperatures of 5 degrees are not too cold.

    How to Harvest

    You can harvest green onions as soon as the bulbs have swollen. However, the best time is after the tops have flopped over and browned off. Lift your onion bulbs, shake off excess soil, and either eat immediately or leave to cure in a well-ventilated place. When the necks are dry, cut off the old leaves and store in mesh bags.
