60 days. Allium cepa. Open Pollinated. Purplette Onion. This early maturing plant produces excellent yields of small burgundy onions. Best when harvested when very young as bunching onions or when golf ball size. The onion is a glossy rich burgundy color changing to a pastel pink color when cooked or pickled. Perfect in cooked dishes, salads, and pickled. An excellent choice for home gardens and specialty market growers. A variety from the USA. A short day variety.

Onion Planting Information:

Onion seeds should be planted indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the ground can be worked. You can also plant seeds directly in the garden. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked. Keep free from weeds. You need long sunny days to grow large onions. Shallots are very close to garlic and are very easy to grow. Plants can grow 8 to 12" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch and grass clippings, or straw, around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep seedlings and transplants consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

You can harvest onions for their green stems (scallions) at any time. Cut the green stems with garden scissors when tops are 4 - 8" tall. For bulb products, let the tops dry up by themselves before digging them up. Spread bulbs on the ground for 3 to 5 days to cure.
