Walla Walla Onion

Long Day  Seed Count: Approx. 200 seeds Days to Maturity: 125 Description:  This heirloom is the pride of Washington state. The globe-shaped onion is exceptionally mild in taste, and makes jumbo to colossal-sized bulbs with light brown skin and pretty white flesh. It is the sweetest of the long-day varieties.  Walla Walla is the only long-day that comes close to matching the sweetness of the  Georgia Sweet onion. It will keep for a month, and can grow to be up to 2 lbs.  Delicious for fresh slices on sandwiches, or cooked in a yummy French onion soup.  It was developed in the late 1800s, and still earns a place on the table. How To Grow Sowing:  Since onions take a few months to mature from seed, gardeners with a short growing season should start their onion seed indoors. Plant seeds 1/2 in. deep in small containers, 2-3 months before the last frost date.  Keep the soil moist and at room temp. As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings
