Sweet Emotion is an early Vidalia type onion from Shamrock seeds. A variety of Yellow Granex. It was not a high producing variety at the 2021 Vidalia onion trials. I planted the seed in early September, transplanted in mid December. We had an unusual freeze Christmas week which took out almost three quarters of the plants. The remainder of the plants bulbed in late May. About 25% Jumbos, the remainder medium.
