When should I start White Sweet Spanish onion seeds?
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last spring frost and transplant out once the soil can be worked, or direct sow in early spring. It is a long-day variety suited to the northern and central U.S.
What makes White Sweet Spanish onions special?
They produce large, globe-shaped white bulbs with a mild, sweet flavor that is excellent raw in salads, on burgers, or lightly cooked. The pure white flesh also makes them a favorite for fresh use.
How long do they take to mature?
Expect about 110-120 days from transplant to harvest. The bulbs are ready when the tops yellow and bend over.
How far apart should I space the plants?
Space plants 4 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart, in full sun and loose, well-drained soil. Because these onions grow large, spacing matters for good bulb size.
How many seeds are in a packet?
Each packet holds approximately 250 seeds, plenty for a full row of sweet white onions.
Do White Sweet Spanish onions store well?
White sweet onions are best used fresh and have shorter storage life than pungent storage types. Cure them well and use within a few months for best quality.
How is this different from Yellow Sweet Spanish?
It shares the same large size and sweet, mild flavor but has white skin and flesh instead of golden-brown.
Is it good for storage?
White onions store reasonably well when cured, though yellow types generally keep the longest; use white Sweet Spanish within a few months for best quality.
