I have no idea I bought them on a whim at Callahan's in Austin the other day.
1000's of them.
Red sweet ones.
White sweet ones.
And yellow sweet ones I do know of called 10-15-Y
You just cant have too many onions and yes they are all about planted.

I'm afraid this may be one of those disappointing onion years. My plants look great but they are almost all forming thick necks which means small bulbs and poor keepers.

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?YVZHF 8 April 2013 Walla Walla Onion
Thirty four Walla Walla Onion seedlings were planted in the outdoor garden.These onions were started from seed in the greenhouse on 9 January 2013. Onions can withstand some cool temperatures.These onion get large and don’t have a significant bite, almost as mild as a sliced tomato.. They do not store well. The ground temperature at six inches was 10C. Onions were planted at 9 inch centres, and at the same depth as in the pots. The planting was accomplished without disturbing the roots. Pictures depict the operation.

The plants are doing well, surviving a bit of snow, hail and much rain and cool weather.

Despite what I thought were necks too thick most of my Bermudas have made fairly good onions. The biggest being about 5 inches across and with some only 2 inches. My various yellows and reds have only made a few good bulbs as expected.
