Red Grano Onion

Short Day  Seed Count: Approx. 200 seeds Days to Maturity: 112 Description:  Red Grano onions came from years of horticultural research. During the search for a high yielding, sweet onion that produced an early crop, they  selected a variety from Spain and continued to improve it. In 1944, Texas A&M  University released the first variety of Grano onion, which led to other variations, such as the Red Grano.  This medium-sized onion is crisp and mild; a great all purpose variety for eating cooked or raw. It’s a short day onion, with a short to medium storage life. How To Grow Sowing:  Since onions take a few months to mature from seed, gardeners with a short growing season should start their onion seed indoors. Plant seeds 1/2 in. deep in small containers, 2-3 months before the last frost date.  Keep the soil moist and at room temp. As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights, turned on for 1
