***Short day onion variety for those that grow onions during the fall/winter***
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 INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
