Growing Information

Growing Patterson Hybrid Onion

‘Patterson’ is a hybrid onion prized for its outstanding storage ability, dependable growth, and classic appearance. Copper-brown skins surround firm ivory flesh, producing attractive bulbs capable of maintaining quality for an exceptionally long period after harvest.

Start ‘Patterson’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety is also well suited to containers.

Ready to harvest in about 110 days, lift bulbs once they are fully mature and cure them thoroughly before placing them into storage.

Dependable, firm, and long keeping, ‘Patterson’ is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an onion specifically suited to extended storage.

Great germination

I got 90% germination on these seeds. I have Patterson onions in storage in mid-February that I grew last Summer, so yes, Patterson's are long-keepers.

Loves these Onions!

Patterson onions have become my go-to for long day onions here in MA. They grow great, and store for months, even when storage temps are maybe a bit warmer than they ought to be.

Finally Found!

Finally found what had been "Copra" in looking through Seeds n Such! We were sad we couldn't find this long keeper for a long time. Just found one last one down in the pumphouse and it's still good and firm from last fall! "Patterson" is a great, long lasting onion!

Poor germination

I planted in January and only got maybe 30-40% to germinate. This was my first time trying a hybrid onion seed and may be the last if the onions latter are not great. I heirloom onions at least have an 80% germination rate and they taste good too. I guess time will tell if the hybrids are worth the price.

Jury is out yet

This is the first year that I have started this variety from seed. Word of mouth is the are a good keeper but I couldn't say because I got the seed a month ago and planted. When I got the packet, I got bad vibes as it said 70% germination. Well actually I am not sure it was 50%. It is okay because I will get the number of plants I want but it still is disappointing. I will further my review at season's end.
