Patterson Onion Plant
Description
A looooong keeper! A firm, yellow early onion similar to Copra, but bigger, with higher yields and better size uniformity. Keeps for months and months. Medium-large bulbs have straw-colored skin and small necks that dry quickly. Much less sulfur than other varieties, resulting in that coveted sweet-onion flavor so loved in Maui and Walla Walla onions. Excellent raw on burgers and in salsa, and makes a wonderful French onion soup as it caramelizes beautifully. Use in any dish that calls for a less-sharp onion flavor. Introduced in Walla Walla, Washington in the late 1800s and a farm-market favorite ever since. Matures in 104 days. F1 hybrid. Long-day onion.
This product must be ordered before May 3rd for spring shipping.
Survival Guaranteed!


Since 1816, Stark Bro’s has promised to provide customers with the very best fruit trees and plants. It’s just that simple. However, because annual plants are naturally short-lived and complete their life cycle in a single growing season, our standard one-year survival guarantee does not apply to annuals. If your annuals arrive damaged or fail to thrive within the first 14 days after delivery, please contact us immediately so we can make it right. For all other plants, our full one-year warranty still applies. Read more about our warranty policy.
