Description
White Bermuda onion plants are our recommendation for early green onions as they produce a nice white, large scallion in just 30 days! This heirloom variety was grown by our great-grandfather in 1913 when he planted some of the first onions in the Bermuda colony by our farm. The seed was brought over from the Canary Islands and quickly put our area on the map as one of the largest onion growing regions with this sweet, flat onion. Also known as a cocktail onion, the Crystal Wax, or White Bermuda onion produces a smaller white onion with mild-flavored, flat bulbs. White Bermuda onions are a great onion to use as a green onion, in soups, stews, and pickling. Some garden centers sell this variety as the Texas Sweet.

Grew these last two years. Early maturing in SE NC. Wonderful sweet onions, sorter shelf life than Texas Sweet, but usually gone before spoiled. My favorite!

I gone through many seed catalogs looking for the elusive Bermuda onions, and Dixondale’s the first one that actually has them! Since they don’t sell Bemudas in the grocery stores here, I just built in my small patio a raised garden bed tall enough to handle root vegetables, and planting Bermuda onions is the top of my list to plant. Looking forward to the harvest!
