Growing Instructions

Growing onions from plants is one of the easiest ways to achieve a reliable harvest. Simply poke a small hole in prepared soil, drop in a plant, and firm the ground around it — your onions are on their way.

• Planting time: Set plants in the ground as soon as soil can be worked, right after your last expected frost date
• Soil preparation: Loosen soil to a depth of 4 inches for optimal root development
• Spacing: Plant 4–6 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; reduce watering as bulbs approach harvest
• Tip: The cool, moist early-season conditions actually benefit bulb development — don't rush to plant in warm soil

Whether you're planting your first garden or expanding a market operation, the Texas Super Sweet 1015Y delivers the flavor, size, and reliability that keeps growers coming back year after year.
