Texas sells the same variety under the name ‘Texas Sweets’ or something like that. Hubby bought a bunch the other day and we’ve been face down in them since.
It’s not so much the variety of onion that makes a Vidalia mild and sweet, it’s the soil conditions. You could plant the very same onion in different soil and have it come out tasting much stronger. Sort of like planting hydrangeas in acidic soil versus alkaline soil results in the plant blooming blue, pink or purple. Some people enjoy putting lime on one side of the plant to have a multicolored hydrangea.
