Why Choose Monastrell Pelleted Onion Seeds?

• Intermediate-day onion: A useful choice for gardeners whose growing conditions fit an intermediate-day bulb-forming schedule.
• Red onion color: Produces red onions that add attractive color and savory flavor to the kitchen.
• Pelleted seed: The uniform coating makes small onion seed easier to see, handle, space, and sow accurately.
• Four size options: Choose 60, 80, 100, or 200 seeds for containers, raised beds, garden rows, or larger plantings.
• Hybrid performance: Enjoy the consistency and vigor associated with carefully selected hybrid seed.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose the timing: Follow local onion planting guidance for intermediate-day varieties and give the crop enough time to form mature bulbs.
• Start or direct-sow: Sow pelleted seed about ¼ inch deep in fine, well-prepared soil. Avoid burying the pellets too deeply.
• Provide sunlight: Grow onions in full sun with well-drained soil and good airflow.
• Keep moisture consistent: Pelleted seeds need steady moisture while the coating softens and the seedlings emerge. Do not let the seedbed dry out during germination.
• Thin carefully: Once seedlings are established, thin or space them according to the desired bulb size and the directions for your growing conditions.
• Feed moderately: Use fertile soil and a balanced onion-growing program. Avoid excessive nitrogen late in the season, which can delay bulb maturity.
• Harvest at maturity: Harvest when bulbs have reached their expected size and the tops begin to bend or dry. Cure and store only sound, fully mature bulbs.
