I think she&#8217;s my favorite. I should tell others about her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madalyn is an onion variety that comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enzazaden.com\/us\/products-and-services\/our-products\/onion\/Madalyn\">Enza Zaden<\/a>, a vegetable breeding company based in the Netherlands. Madalyn seed is an F1 hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(How is F1 hybrid onion seed developed? See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highmowingseeds.com\/blog\/the-story-of-a-seed-hybrid-onion-edition\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eating qualities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madalyn has a round to slightly elongated bulb that is medium to large in size. It&#8217;s considered a yellow onion. It&#8217;s not as mild and &#8220;sweet&#8221; as a Walla Walla, but neither is it as pungent as some of the whites and reds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a versatile onion for my family, as we use Madalyn onions in salsas, on hamburgers, in guacamole, with sauteed greens, in ground beef. My favorite is to add diced Madalyn onions to lentil and avocado burritos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-cut-in-half.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-cut-in-half.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25935\" style=\"width:510px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-cut-in-half.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-cut-in-half-480x323.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Madalyn onion, freshly uprooted and cut in half.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Growing qualities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madalyn is considered a short-day onion, meaning that the plant will start forming a bulb at a shorter day length compared to other onion varieties. That&#8217;s good for Southern California because our day length never gets as long as in higher latitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are many short-day onion varieties to choose from, and I&#8217;ve had success with many. What I have found particularly pleasing about growing Madalyn is that it bolts less often, year after year, compared to the other varieties in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I appreciate that Madalyn doesn&#8217;t often bolt (make a flower) because that degrades the bulb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(See my post,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/why-do-onions-flower\/\">\u201cWhy do onions flower?\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-plants-tops-falling-no-bolting.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"661\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-plants-tops-falling-no-bolting.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25940\" style=\"width:556px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-plants-tops-falling-no-bolting.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Madalyn-onion-plants-tops-falling-no-bolting-480x397.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Madalyn onion tops beginning to fall over instead of flower.

This is typical. I probably won&#8217;t harvest all of the Madalyns until sometime in May. May is when I usually complete a Madalyn harvest, as was the case with this crop, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Madalyn-onion-harvest-2021-zero-bolting.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Madalyn-onion-harvest-2021-zero-bolting.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17391\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.1264328485885373;width:481px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Madalyn-onion-harvest-2021-zero-bolting.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Madalyn-onion-harvest-2021-zero-bolting-480x426.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 900px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Madalyn onion crop harvested in May 2021.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grow one or two rows, around 120 Madalyn onion plants, for my family of five each year. After drying, I store them in the fridge. They keep well in there through October, which so happens to be the time that a new crop of Madalyn onions needs to be sown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Madalyn-onion-planting.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Madalyn-onion-planting.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25936\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4331347100916931;width:583px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Madalyn-onion-planting.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Madalyn-onion-planting-480x335.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 900px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This year&#8217;s Madalyn onion planting, with a couple of cabbages mixed in where our cats dug up a few of the young seedlings during winter.

I&#8217;ve yet to find varieties of white or red onions that consistently bulb well and do not bolt often like Madalyn, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My most reliable onion overall has been Madalyn for many years now. Maybe she will grow happily in your Southern California vegetable garden too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also like to read my post, <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/growing-onions-in-southern-california\/\">&#8220;Growing onions in Southern California.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All of my Yard Posts are freely accessible, and I run no ads on the website so that you can enjoy the content without interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/supporting-the-yard-posts\/\">Please consider supporting my efforts<\/a>.
