Description
Several varieties are used for onion sets. All of these
varieties are widely adaptable. The home gardener has little choice
of varieties at the store, however, because sets are seldom sold
under varietal names, merely by color: yellow, white or red. Yellow
sets are sometimes sold as the varieties Ebenezer or
Stuttgarter.
Â
Purchase firm, dormant sets early - before they begin growth
in heated salesrooms. Store sets in a cool, dry, dark environment
if planting must be delayed after purchase. Divide the sets into
two sizes before planting. Large sets (larger than a dime in
diameter) are best used for green onions. If allowed to grow, these
sets may "bolt" and form flower stalks. The small sets (smaller
than a dime in diameter) produce the best bulbs for large, dry
onions; and they usually do not "bolt." Extremely cold weather
during early season growth also may condition onions from sets to
flower.
Â
Round onion sets produce flat onions; elongated or
torpedo-shaped sets mature into round onions. Most gardeners prefer
white sets for green onions, although red or yellow sets are also
acceptable.Several varieties are used for onion sets. All of these
