Growing Short Day White Grano Onions: A Complete Guide
Short Day White Grano onions are a fantastic choice for gardeners looking to grow sweet, mild onions with excellent storage potential. These versatile bulbs are perfect for fresh eating, cooking, and long-term storage, making them a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.
What Are Short Day White Grano Onions?
Short Day White Grano onions are a variety specifically bred to thrive in southern regions where day length is shorter. Unlike long-day varieties that require extended daylight hours to form bulbs, these onions begin bulbing when days reach approximately 10 to 12 hours of sunlight. The white, papery skin and mild, sweet flavor make them ideal for slicing fresh into salads or caramelizing for soups and stews.
Ideal Growing Conditions
These onions prefer full sun and well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Plant them in fall or early winter in southern climates, or in early spring in cooler regions. Space plants 4 to 6 inches apart in rows, and ensure consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Short Day White Grano onions are relatively low-maintenance once established, requiring regular watering and occasional weeding.
Harvesting and Storage
Harvest your onions when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, typically 100 to 120 days after planting. Cure them in a warm, dry location for two to three weeks before storing. Properly cured Short Day White Grano onions can last several months in a cool, dark place, making them perfect for enjoying your harvest year-round.
Why Choose Short Day White Grano?
These onions deliver exceptional flavor and reliability for home gardeners. Their sweet, mild taste makes them perfect for fresh eating, while their storage capability means you can enjoy your harvest long after the growing season ends. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, Short Day White Grano onions are a rewarding crop to cultivate.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
