Each package contains \u003cstrong\u003e50 heirloom onion plants for planting, not seeds or harvested bulbs\u003c\/strong\u003e. Give them a well-prepared garden bed and look forward to slicing, roasting and sautéing your own onion harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTexas Legend is a distinct variety, not another name for Texas 1015Y. Its yellow bulbs offer plenty of kitchen possibilities: thin slices for sandwiches, chopped onion for salads and tender wedges for roasting. Gentle cooking softens the texture and brings a mellow sweetness to beans, soups and vegetable dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan your onion patch before the plants arrive. A sunny position, loose soil and convenient access for watering and weeding make tending the crop easier. Starting with young plants skips the seed-starting stage, but the harvest still depends on matching the variety to local day-length conditions and planting at an appropriate time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a short-day onion, Texas Legend should be planted according to regional onion guidance. The supplied variety information gives approximately 105 days from transplanting and potential bulbs up to 6 inches under favorable conditions. Treat these as planning estimates, not promised results. Planting date, weather, spacing and care influence maturity and bulb size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-weight: 700;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Choose Texas Legend Onion Plants?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50 Plants per Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e Begin with young transplants rather than sowing seed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet Yellow Bulbs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enjoy mild flavor in fresh dishes and cooked meals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlobe-Shaped Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded bulbs are convenient for slicing, dicing and cutting into wedges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort-Day Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Match your planting schedule to local conditions for good bulb development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKitchen Flexibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use your harvest in salads, soups, roasted sides and caramelized toppings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-weight: 700;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Tips for Success\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow local extension guidance for short-day onions and plant promptly after arrival.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun and Soil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a sunny site with loose, fertile, well-drained soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space plants approximately 4–6 inches apart, leaving room between rows for tending.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep moisture even during active growth without waterlogging roots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilize according to soil needs and label directions.
