Warrior Bunching Onion (60 days)

A recent 2016 All American Selection award winner that is ready 60 days from direct seeding and just 30 days after transplanting into the garden. We observed that it was more robust and earlier than our others onions, growing quickly, and held up well as we continued picking them over time. Uniform, slender stems are perfect for harvesting at ½”.   400 seeds
