Onion Whitewing Hybrid
Refuses to green!
Whitewing sets good numbers of perfectly round, very firm bulbs, about medium-size (in onion terms!) and boasting very slender but strong necks. The plant offers great shade coverage for the growing bulbs, so there is far less greening out with Whitewing than with many others. Well-rooted and very uniform, these onions look as good as they taste. And the storage ability is fantastic!
Whitewing joins yellow onion Candy as one of the very few intermediate or mid-day onions available today. It can be grown as a long-day in short-summer climates, and you don't have to worry if a late frost delays your planting -- Whitewing will continue to grow in the shorter days of fall, unlike most northern Onions that need the long days of summer to complete their growth cycle. It can also be grown in the south by planting in fall and then harvesting in late spring or early summer, like a short-day type. You will love the 'freedom from the seasons' Whitewing provides . . . but you'll love the flavor of these delectable onions even more! Pkt is about 200 seeds, enough to plant 30 feet of row.
