What makes Walla Walla onions special?
They are famous sweet onions, large and remarkably mild and juicy, best enjoyed fresh rather than stored for long.
Will Walla Walla onions grow in my region?
They are a long-day onion, so they bulb best in the longer summer days of northern gardens. In the far south they may not bulb well.
When and how do I plant onion seeds?
Start indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost, or sow in late summer to overwinter in mild areas, about a quarter to half an inch deep; they germinate in about 7 to 10 days.
How far apart should I space onions?
Thin or transplant seedlings to about 3 to 4 inches apart in full sun and rich, loose soil.
How long until Walla Walla onions are ready?
Usually around 110 to 125 days. Harvest when the tops fall over and dry, then cure them, but enjoy them fresh, as sweet onions do not store long.
How do I use sweet onions?
Slice them raw where their mildness shines, in salads and burgers, or grill, roast, and caramelize them until meltingly sweet.
Q: “What is your shelf life? What conditions to store?”
You can easily store it for 3 years.
