Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion Plants

‘Yellow Sweet Spanish’ is a classic heirloom onion prized for its impressive size, mild sweetness, and exceptional storage ability. Large, globe-shaped bulbs can reach up to a pound, with straw-colored skin surrounding crisp white flesh and a pleasantly mild, sweet flavor.

Plant ‘Yellow Sweet Spanish’ onion transplants in full sun, setting them about 1 to 1½ inches deep and spacing plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Choose loose, well-drained soil and water thoroughly after planting to help the transplants establish. This is a long-day onion best suited to northern growing regions where long summer days support strong bulb development.

Ready to harvest in about 110 days, pull onions once the bulbs have reached full size and the tops begin to naturally fall over. Allow the bulbs to cure thoroughly before storage to take full advantage of this variety’s excellent keeping quality.

Mild, sweet, and versatile, ‘Yellow Sweet Spanish’ is excellent for slicing, salads, sandwiches, grilling, roasting, sautéing, and everyday cooking. Its combination of large size and long storage life makes it a dependable choice for gardeners who want both fresh use and pantry storage.
