Gladstone Onion Transplants – Certified Organic

Description

Gladstone Certified Organic Onion Transplants

Gladstone Certified Organic Onions are medium to large white market onions that have a slightly sweet taste with moderate storage. These intermediate day onions are best for growers in the northern and middle regions of the US.

• ONION DETAILS:
  • Medium to large globe shape with white skins
  • Sweet White Onions
  • EASY to grow
  • Intermediate Day–  produces well with 12 to 14 hours of sunlight
  • Grows best in latitudes from Northern Texas to Maine
  • Mildly sweet, firm flesh.
  • Moderate Storage
  • 85-105 days from transplant
  • Beautiful white skin makes for a striking contrast on market display
• TRANSPLANT INFORMATION: Our 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.
