First time trying to plant onions. I'm in a long day zone, 8b. Bought 2 packs of seeds from the local home center, walla walla and red Burgundy. Walla seems to be a long day, and at least from my internet search red is short.

Was planning on doing fall planting and over winter. Question would be if I'm wasting my time on the reds or if a short day onion will bulb in a long day zone if planted in fall?

I was also planning on doing some spring planting as well, and comparing the 2. I'm guessing walla walla would be ok for that but not red.
