Mountain Valley Seed Company Onion Seeds

Yes, these onions are well-suited for container gardening. Because they produce smaller, flattened bulbs, they don't require the deep soil depth that larger onion varieties need, making them a great choice for pots or raised beds.

Short-day onions begin forming bulbs when the day length reaches 10 to 12 hours. They are specifically bred for southern climates where the days don't get as long as they do in the north, ensuring you get a successful harvest rather than just green tops.

You can expect these onions to reach maturity in approximately 95 days. Since they are an early-production variety, this timeline allows for a quicker harvest compared to many traditional storage onions.

This variety is specifically noted for its resistance to Pink Root Rot, a common soil-borne fungal disease that often affects onions. This makes them a more reliable choice for gardeners who have struggled with crop loss in previous seasons.

Because of their mild, sweet flavor profile, these onions are excellent for pickling, bunching, or adding whole to stews and pot pies. They are less pungent than standard yellow storage onions, making them a versatile ingredient for fresh eating or cooking.
