Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion History

Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion. Large, globe-shaped yellow-skinned onion with a crisp, firm white flesh that keeps well. A long day onion, it develops late in the season in the North. In the South it makes scallions, or fresh green onions, when planted as a fall onion. Needs 13 hours or more of day length for best bulb development. Make sure the thick, heavy neck dries well, and it will store for several months in a cool, dry place. Tolerant to pink root.

How To Plant Yellow Sweet Spanish Onions

Plant seed 1/2″ deep, 1/2″ apart, in rows 12 to 18″ apart. Thin to 4″ spacing for large bulbs, 2″ spacing for smaller bulbs but higher yields, or 1″ spacing for scallions. Start transplants inside about 8 to 10 weeks before last frost date. Transplant 2 to 4 weeks before last frost date. Space 4″ apart for large bulbs, 2″ apart for smaller bulbs, or 1″ apart for scallions. From sets: Plant sets about 1″ deep 2 to 4 weeks before last frost date. Space 4″ apart for large bulbs or 2″ apart for smaller bulbs. Onions have shallow root systems and need consistent moisture and good weed control.
