This is my first time growing Super Star onions. I am surprised they have done so well in spite of very hot, dry weather this summer. Super Star is an Intermediate Day Onion which the map shows to be just south of my geographic area. But with extended sunlight in July and August the plants were likely well satisfied with enough daylight. They have performed well without adequate rainfall. The taste is pleasantly sweet and juicy; making it an excellent salad onion or sliced on a good beef burger!
