Spring 2007 Onion Plant Varieties

Onion plants are categorized into three groups, long day, intermediate day, and short day. During the late spring and summer months, the length of day becomes longer the further north you are located. Daylength is critical in the growth cycle of onions. This is why we recommend varieties of certain daylength for different areas of our country. For more information on day length please see our Planting and Growing Guide page.

Short Day Varieties
(available until mid to late April)
Grow best in the southern to mid areas of our country where they can be planted early.
Short day onions begin bulb formation at about 10 hours of day light.

TX 1015-Y Supersweet

The Tx 1015-Y Supersweet is a short day yellow variety that produces globe shaped jumbo size onions. It is extremely sweet and will store better than other short day varieties. 
It grows best in the south but can be planted further north than other short day varieties because it matures a little later.

Yellow Granex (Vidalia)

One of the most popular varieties ever!

Yellow Granex is the variety that produces the famous Vidalia onion grown in Georgia.  It also produces the Noonday grown close to Tyler, Tx.  As well as the Maui Sweet.  It is extremely sweet and best suited for southern gardeners.
