The Texas 1015 onion is a famous sweet onion variety that was first developed by Texas A&M University in the 1980s, and it remains one of the best choices for gardeners in warm regions like South Florida. The name “1015” comes from its ideal planting date, October 15th, but don’t worry, you can plant them in South Florida through the end of the year. These are a “short day ” onion, which means you plant them in fall when the days are shortening, and you harvest in spring, as the days start to lengthen. These onions are known for their large, round bulbs, mild flavor, and high sugar content, making them excellent for fresh eating, grilling, and caramelizing. Unlike pungent storage onions, 1015s are best enjoyed soon after harvest, as their high water content means they don’t keep as long. Consistent watering is important during bulb formation, but the soil should never stay soggy or the roots will rot. By late spring, you’ll have big, sweet onions ready to pull, but you can also enjoy them any time along their growth cycle wether small or large.
We sell this variety as a pack of 6 small plants

Plant Care
Plant Care
When your plant delivery arrives, make sure you water your new plants thoroughly with a light spray of water (none of this thumb over the hose stuff). We recommend planting them within 10 days of receiving them. If you do intent to wait to plant them, we recommend placing them in a shallow reservoir (like a baking pan) and filling it with half an inch of water so they can drink the water from below while you are at work and place them in an area with plenty of sun. When planting in your garden always add a dash of Organic granular fertilizer, and give them extra water during their first week in their new home, while they adjust. We recommend disturbing the root ball as little as possible during planting.
