As of 9th of November, we have gotten several inches of rain so the harvest will be delayed by 1 week. We hope to be shipping around the 26th of November which is Thanksgiving. We will wait until the 30th to ship now. Things do not always go as planned when depending on the weather to harvest crops. But we are so thankful for the rain.

PREORDER: Expected to begin shipping around November 18, 2026.

Texas Early White Onion Plants produce sweet, white, globe-shaped bulbs for fresh slicing and everyday cooking. This package contains 50 heirloom onion plants for planting, not seed packets or harvested bulbs. Texas Early White is a late short-day, open-pollinated variety suited to appropriate Southern planting schedules. It may also be grown as an early white onion in suitable intermediate-day areas; match your planting date and location to local guidance.

Why Choose Texas Early White Onion Plants?

  • 50 Plants per Package: Start your onion patch with young plants rather than sowing seed.
  • Sweet White Bulbs: Globe-shaped white onions for salads, sandwiches and cooked dishes.
  • Late Short-Day Variety: Choose planting dates appropriate to your region and day-length conditions.
  • Size Potential: The supplied variety information describes bulbs reaching approximately 5–6 inches under favorable conditions. Size is not guaranteed.
  • Harvest Timing: Allow approximately 105 days from transplanting as a planning estimate. Weather, planting dates and plant development affect readiness.

Planting Tips for Success

  • Timing: Follow local extension guidance for short-day onion transplants and plant promptly after arrival.
  • Sun and Soil: Choose a sunny location with loose, fertile, well-drained soil.
  • Spacing: Space plants approximately 4–6 inches apart, with room between rows for tending.
  • Water: Maintain even moisture during active growth without waterlogging roots.
  • Feeding: Fertilize according to soil needs and label directions; avoid excessive nitrogen as bulbs swell.
  • Care and Support: Weed gently around shallow roots and avoid piling soil over developing bulbs. Staking is generally unnecessary.
  • Harvest: Judge readiness as tops naturally fall and begin drying rather than relying only on the calendar. Cure harvested bulbs in a dry, shaded, airy location.
  • Storage: Store only sound, properly cured bulbs in a cool, dry, ventilated place. Inspect regularly and use damaged or thick-necked bulbs first.

Skillet-Caramelized Texas Early White Onions

Turn your harvested white onions into a rich, golden topping for burgers, sandwiches or roasted vegetables. Use mature harvested bulbs, not the young plants supplied for planting.

Serves: 4 as a topping. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 35–50 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 large harvested Texas Early White onion bulbs, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2–4 tablespoons water, as needed

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a wide skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Add sliced onions and salt. Stir to coat, then spread into an even layer.
  3. Cook gently for 35–50 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until soft and deeply golden. Reduce heat if the onions darken too quickly.
  4. Add water a tablespoon at a time whenever browned bits collect on the pan. Stir to loosen them, keeping the onions from scorching.
  5. Season with pepper and serve warm.

Options: Replace butter with an additional tablespoon of olive oil for a dairy-free version.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F.
