20 Seeds Onion Maui Sweet Bulbing Vegetable Garden

Maui Sweet Onion is a short-day bulbing onion known for its large, mild, sweet flavor and reliable performance in warm climates. It produces thick, glossy green tops and develops rounded, golden-bronze bulbs that store reasonably well when cured properly. This variety is a favorite among home gardeners who want a dependable, versatile onion for everyday cooking. A classic short-day variety, Maui Sweet performs best when grown in regions with mild winters and long summer days. The sweet, mild bulbs are excellent for fresh slicing, salads, burgers, and grilling, and they also work well in soups, stews, and sautés. Onions can be harvested young as green onions or left to mature into full-sized bulbs. Their upright growth habit makes them suitable for garden beds, raised planters, and container growing.
