Onion Short Day Madalyn delivers dependable performance for southern gardeners, engineered as a short-day hybrid specifically adapted to latitudes between 20° and 35°. This variety produces impressive jumbo globe-to-elongated globe-shaped yellow bulbs with mild-to-slightly pungent flavor, offering versatility for both fresh consumption and light cooking applications. Individual bulbs reach up to one pound at maturity, providing substantial yields from efficient garden space. Madalyn demonstrates early mid-season maturity with moderate bolting tolerance, allowing reliable bulb development even during variable spring conditions. The disease-resistant genetics ensure consistent performance across diverse growing environments, while the inherent sweetness enhances culinary appeal. The balanced flavor profile—neither aggressively pungent nor overly mild—makes these onions suitable for diverse preparations, from raw applications to sautéing and caramelization. With approximately 110 days to harvest and 80% or higher germination rates, you'll achieve predictable establishment and abundant productivity. These onions are best enjoyed fresh or for short-term storage up to 2-3 months, making them ideal for succession planting throughout the growing season. The easy-to-grow characteristics and disease resistance make Madalyn an excellent choice for both experienced and novice gardeners in appropriate climates. Our non-GMO hybrid seeds reflect sustainable breeding practices, while our environmentally conscious packaging—reusable, recyclable, and climate-friendly—demonstrates our commitment to responsible stewardship and long-term gardening success.
