Stuttgarter Onion Sets

These yellow Onion Sets are open-pollinated and have a long shelf life when properly cured, lasting until June. For best results, plant early, water as needed, and provide generous fertilizer throughout the growing season.

Try them in creamy onion dip, or sliced on carne asada, or our favorite—cornmeal and beer-battered onion rings. Approximately 100-130 sets per pound.

  • Ideal for cooked recipes and soups

    They're excellent storage onions and can be kept in storage for several months after harvest. For mild-tasting green onions, harvest onions about 2-4 weeks after planting onion sets. For larger onions, allow the onion bulbs to grow through the summer.

    Onion sets are biennial plants with hollow, glaucous leaves. They are typically bluish green and have a medium growth rate.

    Onions are great companion plants in the garden. They naturally deter certain garden pests, like aphids, Japanese beetles, sugar beet-flea beetles, deer, and rabbits. Onions can also improve the flavor of some of their companions, while some companions, like chamomile and summer savory, can improve the onion?s flavor. Scattering them around the vegetable garden helps to produce healthier harvests.

    Try to be careful about the fertilizers you use for onions. Onions tend to be more pungent when grown on soils with a high sulfur content. Choose a nitrate-based fertilizer over a sulfate-based fertilizer. Ask your local garden center expert for the right fertilizer. The fertilizer bag, even on all-purpose fertilizers, 12-24-12 for example, may indicate the components used to formulate the fertilizer. 
    Care Tips/Maintenance
    Onions may need lots of moisture at the beginning, but less when the bulbs are approaching full size. When the tops begin to fall over naturally, it's time to pull the onions up.
    Harvest Instructions 
    Members of the onion family generally give a very obvious signal when they are ready to harvest. The tops fall over and the tips of the leaves start to turn brown. In addition, the bulbs are full size. Pull the onions, shake off any soil, but do not wash them or pull off any outside wrapper leaves. 
    Store them in a cool, dry, shaded area to cure for several days or up to 2 weeks if the weather is dry and not too hot. Then clip off the roots and tops leaving about one inch of the stem and brush off any remaining soil.
    Storage Instructions
    Store the onions in a very cool place (your basement or even an old refrigerator) trying to keep them between 35 and 55°F (1 and 12°C). The closer to 35 degrees the less chance the onions will sprout. Check your onions occasionally and use the ones showing signs of sprouting or softening right away. With good storage, your onion crop should last most of the winter.
