Early White Grano Sweet Onion

Early White Grano Sweet Short Day Onion Seeds Heirloom Onion Seeds

Early White Grano onions are a delightful onion variety known for their mild, sweet flavor and classic white bulbs. These sweet onions are a product of the Texas AM University and are a tasty variation of the well-known Texas Early Grano 502. What makes them stand out is their resistance to Pink Root Rot (PRR), a common issue for onion growers. These large, Vidalia-style onions have been specially developed to handle PRR, ensuring you'll enjoy a thriving onion crop without the hassle of this pesky disease.

PLANTING

Allium cepa

When to sow your seeds: ***These are short day onions and will only bulb if grown during the winter in the Southern parts of the USA*** Sow seeds in August or September to transplant 2 months later. They will grow all winter long and you start harvesting in late spring. Fertilize seedlings when they are 3 inches or taller, once a week, with a liquid fertilizer, mixed at half strength of whatever the directions say.

Germination: 7 - 14 days Onions are slow to germinate

Seed Sowing: I sow them densely to grow out my own onion transplants. Sprinkle a bunch of seeds over a 10 inch x 20 inch flat (seed tray) or sprinkle a bunch over the surface of several 4 inch pots. When seedlings are around 6 inches long, separate all of them and transplant into the garden. Don't worry, onions at this size will not have transplant shock due to disturbing the roots. Space them at minimum 4 inches apart so they have room to form big bulbs. Mix them throughout your garden and veggie crops to deter pests.

Harvest: Can start harvesting when the onions greens or tops begin to fold over. Personally, I like to wait until all of the greens have turned brown and dried out.
