OniOn SetS CUltURe
Our onion sets are of the very highest quality, and stored at the proper temperature until they are shipped to you. When you receive your onion sets, always protect them from freezing, as freezing will kill the sets. Proper planting instructions are included.
SHiPPinG inFORMatiOn aBOUt OniOn SetS anD PlantS
We begin shipping onion sets and plants in mid March and do not ship sets after May 20th or plants after May 31st. If you order seeds along with sets or plants, we will ship your seeds first and ship your sets or plants as close to your target planting date as possible. Sets produce scallions or bunching onions early in the season, or large onions in about 85 days. One pound of onion sets will plant about a 50’ row. We cannot ship onion sets or plants to CA, AK or HI.
