‘Yellow of Parma’ Onion (Allium cepa). The Allium cepa ‘Yellow of Parma’ onion is an heirloom long-day variety renowned for the beauty of its golden bulbs, its sweet and mild flavor, as well as its excellent performance in cooking and storage. In the vegetable garden, it stands out with its neat and vigorous habit, followed by the formation of perfectly round bulbs that literally light up the rows at harvest time. Its flavorful flesh becomes particularly tender when cooked, making it a top choice for stews, grilled dishes, roasts, soups, and homemade sauces.

Recommended sowing period: February to April indoors or April to May outdoors. The depth to respect is 1 cm (3/8 in). Emergence generally takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the potting mix at 15 to 21 °C (59 to 70 °F). Keep onion, leek, or shallot seedlings well-identified, as their young foliage looks similar. Sufficient light and regular moisture accompany the growth of seedlings. Transplant delicately when the type of cultivation requires it, without crushing the base of the leaves.

This organic variety appeals to gardeners looking for a productive, reliable, and versatile onion, capable of providing an abundant harvest after careful cultivation in the sun. Rows of onions and leeks are suitable for areas of the vegetable garden where one can work without walking between plants. Their vertical silhouette can border a more sprawling crop, provided that the foliage receives light. Identify varieties for bundling and those for bulbing to choose the correct harvest stage. Keep the row accessible for weeding until the plants are well established. It is particularly appreciated to see it slowly mature in the garden before bringing it in for storage, thus extending the flavors of the vegetable garden long after summer.

Growing method

Recommended sowing period: February to April indoors or April to May outdoors. The recommended depth is 1 cm (3/8 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the soil at 15 to 21 °C (59 to 70 °F). Keep onion, leek, or shallot seedlings well-labeled, as their young foliage looks similar. Sufficient light and regular moisture are essential for seedling growth. Transplant carefully when the crop type requires it, without crushing the base of the leaves. In the garden, prepare an easily weeded surface: these narrow plants provide little ground cover early in their development. Weed regularly around alliums by working shallowly. Their fine foliage does not quickly protect the soil from competition. Observe the desired part at harvest: tender stem, aromatic leaves, or mature bulb. For storage bulbs, the harvest stage and drying are as important as the size. Handle the bases carefully to limit damage before cooking or storage. Green onions and storage onions are not harvested at the same stage.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Care level

Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions

Watering

Moderate

Soil type

Well-drained and fertile

Fertilization

Fertilization supports growth and takes into account the nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe leaf development before re-fertilizing.

Moisture

Keep the soil moist during germination, without waterlogging; then adjust to the crop.

Keep your onion, leek, or shallot seedlings well identified, as their young foliage looks similar. Sufficient light and regular moisture promote seedling growth. Transplant delicately when the type of crop requires it, without crushing the base of the leaves. In the garden, prepare a surface that is easy to weed: these narrow plants cover little of the soil at the beginning of their development. Weed regularly around alliums, working shallowly. The fine foliage does not quickly protect the soil from competition. Observe the desired part at harvest: tender stem, aromatic leaves, or mature bulb. For storage bulbs, the harvest stage and drying are as important as the size. Handle the bases with care to limit damage before cooking or storing. Green onions and storage onions are not harvested at the same stage. For storage bulbs, wait for signs of maturation and dry the harvest in a well-ventilated place.

Companion plants

In a diverse plantation, you can dedicate neighboring sections to these plants: carrots, lettuces, beetroots, tomatoes. Here, the association serves to organize space and harvests. Respect each plant's height, light, and water needs, without overcrowding the foliage. Keep a pathway for watering and harvesting, then remove spent crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance without promising pest protection. Rows of onions and leeks are suitable for garden areas where you can work without stepping between plants.

Edible parts

Bulbs, stems and leaves depending on the type

Cooking idea with ‘Yellow of Parma’ Onion: onion fondue for four servings. Prepare 500g of the harvested part, cleaned and thinly sliced, then sauté in 15ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add 30ml of water, cover, and continue cooking gently until tender. Young stalks cook faster than well-developed bulbs. Stir regularly and add a little water if the bottom sticks. Season with salt and pepper and serve on toast or as an accompaniment to roasted vegetables. Prepare the ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cut to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove damaged pieces before preparation. If you double the quantities, ensure enough space in the dish to mix or cook evenly. Quickly refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two people, simply divide all quantities by two.
