About this seed
About golden onion seed
Golden onion seeds (VEG15) are supplied as the 50 seed packet. The product is sold under the name “Gold onion, Golden, Orange”. “Golden Onion” is not a botanical name; Allium cepa is the accepted species for cultivated bulb onion.
Also known as: Bulb onion, Pyaz, Kanda, Vengayam, Ullipaya, Cebolla, Oignon, Zwiebel, Cipolla and Cebola.
Sowing
Onion timing depends strongly on local temperature and day length, so use regional guidance rather than a universal planting date. Start seed in a fine, freely draining medium or sow directly when local conditions are suitable. Cover lightly, keep the seedbed evenly moist without waterlogging and provide bright light after emergence.
Growing
Thin seedlings or transplant them with enough room for the intended bulb size. Maintain moderate fertility and steady moisture during active growth while keeping the soil freely drained. Reduce watering according to locally appropriate harvest practice as bulbs mature. Climate, day length, soil, seed storage and cultivation affect emergence, exterior colour, bulb size, maturity and keeping quality. No fixed germination percentage, colour uniformity, flavour or harvest performance is guaranteed.
Packet and storage
The packet contains 50 seeds. Store unused seed sealed, cool and dry. Some photographs show representative yellow onions rather than this exact seed lot.
