Onion Short Day Texas 1015Y is a legendary heirloom onion developed for warm-climate gardens. This non-GMO variety produces impressively large yellow bulbs, often reaching a pound or more, with the famously mild, sweet flavor that made Texas 1015Y a Southern favorite. It is a short-day onion, meaning it is suited to Texas, the Gulf Coast, and other warm regions where long-day onions do not bulb well. Enjoy crisp slices fresh from the garden, caramelize them into a golden sweetness, or use them as the foundation for everyday cooking.

• Planting: Sow ¼ inch deep. Transplant when seedlings are sturdy and weather is suitable.
• Spacing: Set transplants 4 to 6 inches apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart.
