  • Overview

    Evergreen Hardy White is an heirloom Allium variety prized for its mild, tender white onions with a delicate flavor less pungent than standard onions. Reaching maturity in approximately 65 days, this cold-hardy cultivar produces elongated white bulbs suitable for fresh eating and cooking. The plant tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its hardiness and ease of cultivation make it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a versatile, sweet onion option that stores moderately well and brings subtle onion flavor to dishes without overwhelming heat.
