Calibra Onion Plants – Certified Organic

Calibra Certified Organic Onion Plants

Calibra Certified Organic Onion Plants are a mild, slightly sweet Spanish-style that are easy to grow.  With less moisture than a typical sweet onion, Calibra produces 3-4″ bulbs that are more suitable for longer storage. A long-intermediate day onion, Calibra is well adapted for Mid-Northern states, latitudes from Maine to Northern Texas.

• PLANT INFORMATION: Our Certified Organic Onion & Leek Plants are greenhouse-grown on small, family farms in Wisconsin. These live seedlings arrive in a container with soil, hardened off, and ready to plant. Our local organic onion growers prefer these onion starts because they are easy to grow with high yields.
• SHIPPING INFORMATION: All Plants ship in April ONLY. Upon checkout, choose the April ship window that works best for you. Please note that ship dates may shift slightly due to Mother Nature. Plants may be cared for indoors until planting time, if needed.
• REGIONAL ONION PLANTING: Our onions are well-adapted for mid-northern states, latitude range 35-45°. If your region requires earlier planting, consider our Naturally-Grown Onion Sets that begin shipping early March. If you require onion sets/plants earlier than March, we recommend finding a source closer to your region. For more information, see our Keene Garlic Seasonal Order Shipping Guide.
