Description

Patterson Onion is a highly regarded long-day onion variety prized for its large, uniform bulbs, rich golden-brown skin, and exceptional storage life. The firm white flesh offers a balanced flavor that is mildly pungent when raw and becomes wonderfully sweet when cooked, making it an excellent all-purpose onion for fresh use, roasting, soups, and long-term storage.

This vigorous and dependable variety is known for producing high yields of dense, well-shaped bulbs with excellent disease resistance and outstanding keeping quality. Patterson onions are especially valued by gardeners and growers seeking a reliable storage onion that maintains flavor and texture for months after harvest.

Onion transplants are young live plants that offer a simpler and more reliable alternative to starting onions from seed. Transplants establish quickly, reduce the challenges of germination and early care, and allow gardeners to achieve larger, more uniform bulbs with less effort. They are especially helpful in shorter growing seasons, where the added head start improves overall harvest success and maturity.

• Type: Biennial grown as an annual (Allium cepa)
• Plant transplants: Early spring as soon as soil can be worked
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 4–6 inches
• Days to maturity: 100–115 days from transplants

Patterson onions grow best in fertile, loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Keep beds weed-free to minimize competition and encourage strong bulb development. Harvest once tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure bulbs thoroughly in a warm, airy location before storing in a cool, dry place for excellent long-term keeping quality.
