80 days. Incredible green onion from Turkey with robust, dark green foliage and thick, white ankle/legs. Very fragrant and delicious as a fresh onion and in meals. This is a multiplier onion that can form 7-10 sister stalks, depending on the growing conditions. Can be planted as a spring, summer or fall crop. Very cold tolerant and can be overwintered in ground with proper frost cover. Suitable for growing in ground or in pots.
