This fine large onion has gained a considerable following in the past several years. Bulbs in excess of 3 pounds are possible, but the real virtue of this variety is the quality. Color is a snow-white, centers are bull's eye single, tops are vigorous, and the flavor is very sweet. Great for slicing raw. The variety to grow for classic, round, yellow-fleshed onions.
Firm globes with nice coppery skins keep well even under less than ideal conditions.
Matures in plenty of time for northern areas. This near legendary onion is noted for its mildness. In the Northwest it is planted in the fall, over-wintered, and harvested the following spring. It will produce an acceptably mild crop from a spring planting in areas with more severe winters. You can also try to protect it over the winter with a light mulch.
