  • A great addition to late summer & early fall dishes.
• 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.
