Texas 1015 SuperSweet Onion Features:
Our Texas 1015 SuperSweet Onion Plants produce massive, sweet onions that won't make you cry when cutting them! This is a short day onion variety that has a slightly longer maturity date than other short day varieties. As a result, it performs particularly well in the northern portion of the short day onion planting region.
Texas 1015 SuperSweet Onions were developed at Texas A&M university and have been a favorite among backyard gardeners in the southern states for decades. This variety was given its name based on the date when the seeds for these plants are sewn -- October 15th. These onions have a yellow skin and off-white flesh with a super sweet flavor! They have a storage potential of 2-3 months and typically store much better than "granex" or flat sweet onions.
Texas 1015 SuperSweet Onion Growing Tips:
Our Texas 1015 SuperSweet Onion Plants should be planted in late winter, approximately four to six weeks before your average last frost date. Established onion plants can tolerate temperatures down to 20°F, but young onion transplants will be more sensitive. Place the onion transplants 6" apart in your raised bed or in-ground garden and water them well for best results.
Onion plants are heavy feeders and will perform best in fertile soils. If your soils are not naturally fertile, you'll need to fertilize the plants to grow large onions. Feed the onions a balanced fertilizer (relatively equal parts of N-P-K) at planting or shortly after. Once the plants establish and start growing, feed them a couple times with a nitrogen-based fertilizer and watch them grow!

Farm Fresh Onion Plants
Our onion plants are field grown to ensure the highest-quality onion plants for our customers.
After being harvested from the field, our onion plants are cleaned, trimmed, boxed, and shipped to you. We want our customers to have the freshest plants so they can be successful growing their own onions.
When your onion plants arrive, open the box immediately and unwrap the individual onion plant bundles. We recommend planting them as soon as possible, but they'll be fine in a cool dry area for one to two weeks.
