Onion Patterson

This long day variety is perfect for the gardener who is looking for good size, high yield, and uniform bulbs. Similar to the Copra onion, Patterson offers a similar bulb and firmness however, it has unmatched flavor and lasts long in storage.

The 3.5-4 inch bulbs are moderately pungent and a nice sugar content for adding to many recipes. This variety is great for northern gardens. Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost. Sow thinly and keep moist at a temperature of 60-65 degrees F.

Sow into the garden in the spring after the danger of frost has passed. Onions prefer ample water during growth. Side dress with fertilizer approximately six weeks after planting.
