Developed for reliable production in warmer climates, it is a versatile variety that can be harvested young as a spring onion or allowed to mature into full-sized white bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crisp white flesh has a pleasantly mild flavour, making it particularly good for fresh eating. Young plants can be sliced into salads, sandwiches and salsas or used as spring onions in stir-fries and noodle dishes. Mature bulbs are excellent raw, roasted, grilled, sautéed or added to soups, stews, curries and sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGladalan White is a \u003cstrong\u003eshort-day onion\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it begins forming bulbs at relatively short day lengths. This makes it particularly well suited to warmer and more northerly Australian growing regions, where long-day varieties may produce plenty of foliage without developing satisfactory bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnions have been cultivated since ancient times, with their origins generally traced to Central and Southwest Asia. Their versatility and ability to store made them an important staple crop throughout the ancient world and eventually led to varieties adapted to very different climates and day lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants perform best in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture encourages rapid, even growth, although onions dislike waterlogged conditions and excessive fertilising should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 240–400 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 200 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eWarm temperate climates: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eCool climates: Generally choose an intermediate or long-day variety for reliable mature bulb production\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5–10 mm deep into prepared soil, seedbeds or trays.
