Superex, Hybrid
Allium cepa
This short day hybrid is good for tropical or sub-tropical areas. The flattened globe has yellow/brown skin and a mild, sweet flavor. Also known grown as “Maui Onion,” it is early maturing, high yielding, vigorous and tolerant of downy mildew. Short day types are best suited for southern climates, where day length reaches 12-14 hours of sunlight. They are sub-tropical plants that continue to grow through winter and never go totally dormant. In Central Florida, these are best planted by seed in the Fall, after it cools down.
- Maturity: Approx. 160+ days
- Planting season: Late summer/early fall
