Texas Grano Onion Seeds - 50 Heirloom Sweet Yellow Vegetable Seeds
Texas Grano onion seeds produce a popular heirloom sweet yellow onion known for its mild flavor and reliable performance in home gardens. These short-day onions develop large, globe-shaped bulbs with golden-brown skin and crisp, white interior layers. Their sweetness makes them ideal for fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, and mild cooking, while the bulbs also store reasonably well when cured properly.
Texas Grano is a favorite among gardeners in southern regions because it bulks up quickly in mild winter climates. Whether you are growing onions for the first time or adding a dependable sweet variety to your vegetable patch, these seeds offer an easy and rewarding growing experience.

Planting & Care
Start Texas Grano onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors in fall in mild climates. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings are sturdy, thin them to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for bulb development.
Onions require regular watering during the growing season, but reduce watering as bulbs mature to prevent rot. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure bulbs in a dry, airy place before storing.
