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 organic onion transplants are dormant when shipped. It is normal for them to be 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. These healthy transplants will thrive if well cared for. For your gardening success, we have switched from selling potted onion plants to onion transplants .
• SHIPPING INFORMATION: We ship all dormant transplants starting at the beginning of early April. We dig and then dry the onions.  Once dry and they turn dormant until you plant them.  We ship them within 7-10 days of being dug, so you receive a fresh, dormant, dry onion transplant that is really to grow.  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. If your region requires earlier planting, consider our Naturally-Grown Onion Sets or you may want to source your onion transplants from a local nursery. For more information, see our Keene Garlic Seasonal Order Shipping Guide.  Always search for growing onions in your region for the best onions and planting times.
