Crystal White Wax Onion

Mild-Flavored Southern Heirloom

A traditional favorite in the South, Crystal White Wax Onion is white-skinned with a mild flavor. It's perfect for eating raw, fresh slicing and cooking. Also known as White Bermuda, this medium-sized, juicy, sweet onion is dependable and always delightful. Many gardeners also grow this variety to pearl size for pickling and cocktail onions. Exhibits strong disease resistance, including Pink Root tolerance. A short-day variety, it has a short storage life. Onions are affected by the amount of light they receive. Short-day onions begin forming bulbs when daylight lasts 10-12 hours. Often, they are the sweetest onions and the best for eating raw and in salads or lightly cooked in salsas and stir-fries. Because summer daylight hours are shorter in the South, short-day onions are most often grown in the South. 120 DAYS.
