    I have been ordering this variety for a couple of years now. It is my favorite onion to plant , it handles onion diseases better than any variety I have planted so far. It also keeps the longest in storage, I store my onions under my basement stairs in a little storage space. The temperature does not get as cool as it should be but my onions still keep until spring very few start to sprout. I live in Minnesota so I store them from sept. to april.

    Have done very well here in southern West Virginia – took first place in the onion division at this years’ county harvest festival.

    Have planted Blush Onions for the past two years and will continue to do so. They store very well in the basement and our garage during the winter (Northern Michigan). They taste so lovely all cooked up. They are my husbands favorite!

    These are the onion stars in my garden in Maine. They grow very large and taste great and they keep in storage till late spring before sprouting!

    These onions were such a disappointment. They grew well, were big and firm, had such a beautiful color, and we couldn’t wait to eat them! But we didn’t eat a single one. They all rotted, from the inside out, so that they looked gorgeous outside but were all black and soft inside. I’ve never seen anything like this. They were stored, labeled, next to red, purple, and yellow Dixondale onions, none of which had this problem. We had to throw the entire Blush crop away within 1-2 months of harvest.

    We had a weird May last year, with a week of 90+ days followed by a week on 35-45 days. Seemed like that stopped growth, up to that point they were doing great. Ended up with medium size onions (hence the 4 stars), but they were very healthy and exceeded my storage expectations. Last ones were eaten in January with little rot/waste. Ordered again for this year, and hoping weather isn’t as abnormal. Taste was very good.

    Just had some of these for breakfast 6.5 mo after harvest. Delicious! And the purple color inside is gorgeous. I did lose a few to center rot both in the fall and over the winter, but when I cut the tops off to dry last fall several of them seemed to have more moisture that they should. I thought I had dried them enough in the end, so either they weren’t fully ready to harvest or my drying method was inconsistent. Considering that most of them are fine, I can’t blame it on the onions. I had a chat with Dixondale and they mentioned that overhead watering can cause this, and we did have cold and rain late in the summer just before harvest, so it could have been that as well. Last season was my first time with this variety so this year I will pay closer attention during harvesting and drying, but they are so tasty that I will definitely grow them again.
