White Creole Onions

White Creole onions are a short-day variety particularly suited for southern climates, such as Florida. They produce medium to large, round bulbs with very firm, translucent white flesh.

This variety is favored for its excellent storage quality and ability to form perfect bulbs, making it an ideal choice for growers looking to store onions long-term.

Pungent Flavor and Versatility:

These onions are known for their pungent flavor, making them excellent when used fresh or cooked. They are also a top choice for dehydrating, enhancing their versatility in the kitchen.

Growing Instructions:

• Sunlight: Requires 6-12 hours of sun.
• Sprouting: Sprouts within 7-14 days.
• Ideal Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 45-80°F.
• Seed Depth: Plant seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch.
• Spacing: Space plants 4-6 inches apart.

Planting Tips:

Start planting in Florida at the end of July and transplant in September. The onions are ready for harvest when the tops turn brown and fall over. After pulling, cure the onions for two weeks to ensure the best storage quality.

With a growing period of around 150 days from seed, White Creole onions are a reliable choice for those seeking flavorful and long-lasting onions.
