Yellow Spanish
Sunlit and bold, Yellow Spanish onions bring a bright, golden skin that glows even before you peel—firm, crisp layers promising a sharp, lively bite. At maturity they form generously sized bulbs with a classic flattened-oval silhouette and a dry, papery outer coat that stores beautifully. Grow Yellow Spanish for reliable harvests and for standout flavor in bold, slow-simmered sauces, roasting, and savory pickling preparations.

Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 55°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
For northern success, transplant young starts into cool soil early, and stop fertilizing nitrogen once bulbs begin to form to keep them sizing up instead of staying leafy.
