Red Grano Short Day Bulbing Onion Seeds Heirloom Red Onion Seeds
Allium cepa
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 30-50 seeds
***Short day onion variety for those that grow onions during the fall/winter***
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.

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.
All sales are final once an order has shipped.
Due to the nature of live plants and seeds, we do not accept returns or offer refunds once items have shipped, except in the limited circumstances outlined below.
Since there are many factors beyond our control that affect germination and growing success—including climate, soil conditions, watering, and care—no refunds or exchanges are offered on seeds once they have shipped. All seeds sold are fresh, viable, and the same seeds we use in our own personal garden.
Live plants are non-refundable and non-replaceable. However, we gladly offer a replacement if a plant arrives dead upon delivery.
To be eligible for a replacement:
Reports made after 24 hours of delivery will not be eligible for a refund or replacement. We are unable to replace or refund plants reported outside of this timeframe, as plant health after delivery is influenced by factors out of our control such as handling, environmental conditions, and care once received.
We are not responsible for lost, delayed, or damaged packages caused by USPS or UPS once the package is in the carrier’s possession. Shipping carriers are responsible for transit-related issues.
By placing an order, you agree to this refund and replacement policy.
