Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion (Allium cepa)

Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion (Allium cepa 'Yellow Sweet Spanish') is a classic heirloom onion variety prized for producing large, globe-shaped bulbs with golden-yellow skins and crisp, mild, sweet white flesh. Known for its excellent flavour and dependable harvests, this versatile onion is a favourite among home gardeners and chefs alike. Its balanced sweetness becomes even more pronounced when cooked, making it ideal for caramelizing, roasting, grilling, soups, stews, and countless everyday recipes.

The vigorous plants develop strong, upright blue-green foliage that supports the production of large, uniform bulbs. Yellow Sweet Spanish onions can be harvested young as green onions or left to mature into full-sized storage onions. When properly cured after harvest, the bulbs store well for several months, making them an excellent choice for gardeners looking to enjoy homegrown onions well beyond the growing season.

Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion performs exceptionally well in raised beds, traditional vegetable gardens, and large containers with fertile, well-draining soil. It grows well alongside carrots, lettuce, beets, spinach, cabbage, tomatoes, and herbs while helping maximize productivity in the home vegetable garden.
