Red Grano Onion Seeds

Red Grano Short Day Onion Seeds Heirloom Red Onion Seeds

This onion is medium-sized, stores well for a few months, and has a nice crunch with a mild flavor. It's a versatile choice whether you prefer to eat it raw or cooked. This is a short day onion cultivar, meaning it grows best in the Southern parts of the USA, during the winter when day light hours are shorter. This cultivar is an improved variety from Spain (improved through research efforts at Texas A&M University), to be both productive and sweet.

Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 30 seeds

Follow me on social media because I post a lot of information on how to grow the very same seeds available in my Etsy shop, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok: jerrasgarden.

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.
