Onion Long Day 30 Bunch Collection – Live Plants
Consists
of 10 bunches (500-600 transplants) each of the following varieties: Candy,
Redwing and Super Star (1500-1800 transplants total).
Candy is an intermediate day onion that is a cross
between a short-day and a long-day, making it great for production in all areas
of the U.S. Candy is less pungent than typical northern grown onions and stores
better than the typical southern grown varieties. The yellow globe shaped bulbs
can reach up to 6″ in diameter with light brown skin, short sturdy tops and
tight necks. If bulbs are properly cured and stored in a cool, dry area,
storage potential is 3 months. One of the most popular varieties for its
versatility and ease of growing. 90-100 Days to harvest.
Redwing is a nice globe-shaped, deep red onion
that produces large 3-4″ bulbs when grown from our transplants. It has
proven to be a widely adaptable variety and stores better (8-10 months) than
other red onion varieties. A true Long-day variety that requires 15 hours of
daylength to bulb. 110-120 days to harvest.
Super Star is a mid-day or day length neutral
white onion, which means that it can be grown anywhere in North America. It’s
20 days earlier to mature than other White Sweet Spanish types with no
sacrifice in bulb size. The globe-shaped bulbs are attractive, have a mild,
sweet flavor and retain their skins well. Super Star keeps well for a mild
white onion, but like other whites, it’s not recommended for long-term storage.
95 Days to harvest.
