Allium cepa Spanish Yellow Sweet Onion
Allium cepa Spanish Yellow Sweet Onion is a classic, long-day variety treasured for its massive, globe-shaped bulbs and exceptionally mild, sweet flavor. Growing to about 12 to 18 inches tall with bulbs often reaching softball size (4 to 6 inches in diameter), this variety is a favorite for home vegetable gardens and market growers where impressive size and versatility are key. Unlike pungent storage onions, the Spanish Yellow Sweet offers a delicate texture and sugary profile that makes it versatile for both raw and cooked applications, maturing in late summer for a bountiful harvest.
Culinary and Practical Uses
The jumbo, thick-walled rings are the industry standard for making fried onion rings and French onion soup due to their high sugar content and mild taste.
Excellent for caramelizing or roasting, where the natural sugars brown beautifully, creating a rich, savory-sweet flavor perfect for topping burgers and steaks.
While milder than storage types, it has better keeping qualities than many other sweet onions, storing reliably for several months in cool, dry conditions.
Characteristics
Foliage: Upright, tubular, blue-green leaves (scapes) that are vigorous and sturdy; essential for fueling the rapid expansion of the large bulbs.
Growth Habit: Biennial grown as an annual; produces large, uniform, golden-skinned bulbs with crisp, white flesh that lacks the sharp "bite" of standard yellow onions.
Flowers: Typically harvested before blooming, but if left to overwinter, it produces tall stalks topped with spherical, white flower umbels attractive to pollinators.
Seeds: Harvested after flower heads dry; the small, angular black seeds are vigorous and ideal for starting indoors early to maximize the growing season.
Growing Requirements
Sun: Thrives in full sun; requires long days (14 to 16 hours of sunlight) to trigger bulb formation, making it ideal for Northern and Transition zones.
Soil: Adapts to most soil types but thrives in loose, fertile, well-draining loam rich in organic matter to allow for easy bulb expansion.
Water: Requires moderate, consistent watering; keeping soil evenly moist is critical for producing the largest, sweetest bulbs without splitting.
Spacing: Plant transplants 4 to 6 inches apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart to accommodate the large potential size of the mature onions.
Maintenance: Keep beds strictly weed-free as onions compete poorly; stop watering when tops fall over to allow bulbs to cure before harvesting.

I really am thankful for you taking the time and looking at my original pics and sending me a replacement plant. The replacement arrived with one new closed leaf in great shape. As you can see in the picture, it now has a second new leaf starting. And you can see my original plant looking fine with 2 terrific leaves since its arrival. As our weather has been very pleasant, I plan to pot both very soon. Thank you!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Thomas! We're so happy to hear your plant arrived quickly and in excellent condition. We're delighted you're enjoying your new plant and truly appreciate your support! 😊
I am so very impressed with this company! I had bought one of the mini banana trees first, which started dying right after I got it. After contacting the company, they agreed to give me a credit, with which I bought these two honeysuckle plants. Please excuse the weeds & bad fencing. Hopefully these little plants will grow up & cover the fence. I will be working on weeding and continuing to build a flower bed at the base of the fence. Thank you Blossomdale! I look forward to buying more plants in the future.
Store owner replied:

The fig trees arrived today in small pots very well packed. I removed them and watered them. I will let them "rest" for 4 to 5 days before I repot them and prepare them for winter, inside. Very pleased with these trees. After getting other sellers rotten packing jobs this was a real treat. I may buy more in the spring of 2027.
Store owner replied:

I was very impressed with how well my 18 little lantanas were packed. All looked healthy and I planted them yesterday. It was a little difficult unpacking them but that’s the price I paid for having you pack them so well. I was a little worried when I saw UPS coming to the door with the box slung over the driver’s shoulder despite the fact that the box was marked with an ⬆️ and it said live plants. But all is well. Now if I can just keep them alive.

Thank you for your review, Beth! We're glad your plant arrived quickly and is doing much better. We appreciate you choosing Blossomdale! 😊
Lovely little guy-- impossible to find coral honeysuckle at my local nursery for whatever reason. I really appreciate that the Blossomdale staff kept it and nurtured it a little longer so it would be more robust for the trip. Can't wait to put it in the ground and watch it thrive :-) Will order from them again.
It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.
It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.
Package came delivered just like it said it would I pulled it out it looked good. I put it in some water for about a half hour and put it in my 30 gallon tub and I got three things to go with it.
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Bring life to your garden with the plants everyone’s raving about! These bestsellers are customer favorites for their beauty, resilience, and ability to thrive in a variety of spaces.
