Could Walla Walla be the world’s best tasting onion? A delicious, mild, sweet onion: some say this is sweet enough to eat like an apple! It can reach about 12-15cm across with a flattish rather than globe shape. We say it is sweet and mild and yet still has an onion "zing" that adds zest to any dish: it is simply perfect in salads and sandwiches. At its best when freshly pulled.
SOW: in spring, sparingly 1cm deep in rows about 30cm apart; in situ but warm the soil first under cloches as cold soil upsets germination, thin when large enough to handle. They can also be started in modules and transplanted.
GROW: space at 15-20cm apart as Walla Walla has a flattish spreading shape rather than a globe shape. Keep well watered as the bulb swells. Harvest when they reach the size you want!
ENJOY: sweet and mild and yet still has an onion "zing" that adds zest to any dish: it is simply perfect in salads and sandwiches. At its best when freshly pulled. Walla Walla is not the best storage onion so freezing is a good choice
