Yellow Granex Hybrid Onion Features:
Our Yellow Granex Hybrid Onion Plants are the same plants used to grow the famous "Vidalia Onions" in south Georgia. This is a short-day variety that performs best in the southern states within the short day onion planting range. Yellow Granex Hybrid Onions is one of the most popular onion varieties grown in the southern US, and has been a favorite for backyard gardeners for decades.
These Yellow Granex Hybrid Onion Plants will produce jumbo to colossal onions in approximately 100 days from transplanting. The onions have a "granex" or flattened shape and very sweet flavor. Because it is so sweet, Yellow Granex Hybrid doesn't have a long storage potential. So be sure to enjoy these delicious onions a month or two after your harvest them!
Yellow Granex Hybrid Onion Growing Tips:
Our Yellow Granex Hybrid 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.
