Calibra Onion Transplants – Certified Organic

Description

Calibra Certified Organic Onion transplants

Calibra Certified Organic Onion transplants are a mild, sweet Spanish-style onion that are easy to grow.  Similar in sweetness to “Candy”, Calibra has less moisture and the 3-4″ bulbs 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.

• ONION DETAILS:
  • Yellow, globe shape with golden tan colored skins
  • Sweet like Candy, but slightly smaller bulbs for longer storage
  • EASY to grow
  • Long-Intermediate Day –  produces well with 12 to 13 hours of sunlight
  • Grows best in latitudes from Northern Texas to Maine
  • Long Storing – 4-6 months with the right storage conditions
  • 85-100 days from transplant
  • 3″-4″ bulbs

• TRANSPLANT INFORMATION: Our freshly dug onion & leek transplants are greenhouse grown on a small family farm & are dormant when shipped. It is normal for them to be a bit pale & slightly dry due to dormancy & shipping. In fact, onions are very hardy & can live off of the bulb for approximately three weeks. Generally, we recommend planting within one week of receiving. These healthy transplants will thrive if well cared for.
• SHIPPING INFORMATION: We ship all dormant transplants Mid-April. For best results, plant as soon as you can or within a week.  Keep in a cool, dry area until planting.
• 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.
