Latin Allium cepa
The Walla Walla onion is a sweet, mild, and juicy onion variety known for its exceptional flavour and large size. Originating from Corsica, Italy, it was brought to Walla Walla, Washington, in the late 1800s and has since become a fan favourite. This cold-hardy variety thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Typically harvested in summer, Walla Walla onions are perfect for fresh eating, grilling, and adding a mild onion flavour to dishes without overwhelming heat.
To grow Walla Walla Onions, start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost, spacing them 4-6 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. As the onions mature, allow the tops to yellow and fall over before harvesting.
