Violet De Galmi Onion

The Violet De Galmi onion is a popular onion in several African, and Middle Eastern countries. It comes from the village of Galmi, a small community in the Ader Valley of southeast Niger. The Flat bulbs are of good quality and are a beautiful violet color.  They also store well, which makes it an ideal choice for a short-day onion.  For best results plant in early spring or late summer and allow 6 to 12 hours of sunlight.  Approx. 105 to 110 days to maturity.  Photo courtesy of Baker Creek.
