Onion Short Day Texas Grano Early represents a time-honored short-day onion variety specifically developed for cultivation in southern latitudes, where its photoperiod requirements align perfectly with regional growing seasons. This heirloom cultivar produces large, globe-to-top-shaped bulbs with characteristic straw-colored skin that protects the thick, succulent scales within. The white flesh delivers a notably sweet flavor profile with minimal pungency, making it exceptionally versatile for fresh consumption, slicing, and culinary applications where mild onion character is desired. The variety demonstrates exceptional resistance to two significant onion pathogens: bolting (premature flowering) and pink root disease, reducing management challenges and ensuring reliable harvests even in challenging growing conditions. These disease-resistance traits have made Texas Grano Early a preferred selection among commercial and home gardeners throughout tropical and subtropical regions worldwide for generations. The bulbs mature in approximately 75 days from transplanting, allowing for efficient garden planning and succession planting strategies. The excellent storage capacity of properly cured bulbs extends availability well beyond the harvest season. Texas Grano Early performs optimally in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. This packet contains heirloom seeds with a germination rate of approximately 80% or better. Our seeds are sustainably sourced, and our packaging is fully recyclable and environmentally responsible, supporting both productive gardens and ecological stewardship.
