Italian Onions, Cipollini, known as “little onions” in Italian are flatten shaped bulbs with more residual sugar than your average onion that is wonderful when caramelized in butter or oil or roasted whole.  Cipollini Gold Coin can be eaten fresh or cured and have a raw pungent flavor that sweetens when cooked.  Can be braided or bunched.  These specialty onions grow well in Mid to Northern Climates.

We offer bunches of 50 plants.  Our certified organic plants are professionally greenhouse grown in Wisconsin.  Our onion transplants are ready for shipping in April and early May which serves planting dates for most northern states.   If you need an earlier ship date, please purchase onion transplants from our Cooperative farm Windcrest Organics.  We will ship priority mail with tracking, so you can receive and care for your plants right away and they should be planted within a week.

Our Organic Garlic Fertilizer works great on onion plants too offering nutrients that onions need like nitrogen, calcium, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc, sulfate sulfur, all from organic sources.  Since onions are also heavy feeders, and to grow those healthier plants that yield larger bulbs, apply our organic garlic fertilizer using the same application rates. Onions require a high source of nitrogen, so fertilization or great nutrient rich soil is essential for a great crop.  You can apply our garlic fertilizer or an all purpose fertilizer into the soil a or so week before planting. Apply fertilizer three weeks after planting and then continue with applications every 2 to 3 weeks. Once the neck starts feeling soft do not apply any more fertilizer. This should occur approximately 4 weeks prior to harvest.  Water immediately after feeding and maintain moisture during the growing season.
