Allium cepa
Huge, sweet summer onion is unrivaled for mild flavor and huge size!
This delicious summer treasure is great for fresh eating. They are prized for their sweet flavor, making them an excellent choice for summer salads and a source for the most fantastic onion rings conceivable. Bulbs easily reach over 3” across, with some whoppers mixed in. It is not a long keeper, so you’ll want to eat it soon after harvest, saving your longer-keeping varieties for winter storage.
