Long day vs Short Day Onions:
Northern gardeners should plant
long-day onions (like the
Yellow of Parma Onion). In the North, daylight length varies greatly as you get farther and father away from the equator. Winter days are very short, but summer days are long. Long-day onions will have a chance to produce lots of top growth (hence produce bigger bulbs) before the day length triggers bulbing. If short-day onions were grown in the North, the onions would bulb up too early and they would be small by comparison.
Southern gardeners should plant
short-day onions (like the
Yellow Granex Onion) . In the South, there is much less variation in day length between seasons than up North. If long-day onions were planted in the South, they may not experience enough day length to trigger the bulbing process.
