Organic Onion
(Allium cepa)
This non-GMO seed produces a yellow fleshed 2-6” bulb & withstands considerable cold. This variety is a super sweet onion and not a long-term storage onion, best enjoyed fresh.
Matures in 100 days.
Gardening Guide:
- Starting - Sow 3 seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep, (1/2″) apart in rows 30cm (12″) apart. Thin seedlings to 5" apart.
- Timing - Start indoors in February in soil-less growing medium. Transplant seedling late spring. Seeds can also be sown directly outdoors mid April. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-25°C (70-75°F). Seeds will emerge in 6-12 days, depending on conditions.
- Exposure - Sunny site.
- Harvest - Stop watering in the beginning of August to mature the bulbs in dry soil. After half the tops have fallen, push over the remainder, wait a week and lift the bulbs. Curing is essential for long storage: Spread bulbs out in a single layer in an airy spot out of direct sunlight. Once no more green is visible on any of the leaves, and they are dry and crisp, the onion is cured. If weather is poor, cure indoors. Well-cured storage onions should keep until late spring.
