Short Day Sampler

Short Day Sampler

New mixture for this season. We call it a sampler but really it is just a mixed bundle of three of the most popular short day onions. We mix amounts of Texas 1015Y (yellow), Texas Early White, and Red Creole seeds, plant them, and when harvested, produce a mixed 60 plant bunch with each variety represented. It may not have 20 of each but it will have enough of each to have a colorful variety of onions for you to enjoy. This exclusive combination gives short day areas both sweet and storage onions to enjoy for months.

Price: $11.00

 

Quantity:

The total price of your onion plant order will be determined at checkout. Pricing is based on the total number of bunches purchased (see chart to the left).

Success for the novice

I really enjoy Dixondale. I am short day and have ordered the sampler, texas supersweet, candy. All have performed and grown beautifully. I do agree with the review above that the red doesn't always grow as strongly as the others. I plant closly and eat the thinnings. Its all good. I live in Southern California, 10 minutes west of the hot, dry desert. I keep them watered, cut the blossom as it starts and leave them in the ground even after the tops fall over and store them there in the ground and pick as needed.

Great harvest this year. Still have 5 lbs in storage and its time to plant again. I'm in Southern AZ purchased several bunches of your short season sampler and even after eating alot as green onions and giving some away I still ended up with over 25 lbs to get me through the summer. I'm ready for more. Thanks
Onions will save us.

I once boiled and ate a couple of whole onions because I had nothing else to eat. They were good with some salt. Now they sell dehydrated onion chips, at nearly twenty dollars a pound, in the bulk section at HEB but a dollar's worth will make you smile and feel a little bit better than you did before you ate them. Onions rule, leeks are geeks, but I like them too.Austin, Tx

Always strong healthy plants. I get mixed results with the reds, they sometimes do not fill out strongly but all perform great in my dry coastal garden. fast service and great selection!
Fantastic White and Yellow; Disappointing Red

I purchased the short day sampler for my parents living in So.California. The whites and yellows formed fantastic sized bulbs (avg 1 lb. each); the reds mostly bolted which reduced bulb size to no bigger than 1.5" in diameter.
Love the sampler

I always get the sampler. It's just the right amount and variety. The white onions, which are supposed to be hard to grow, always do the best for some reason. I don't have to buy onions from may until Thanksgiving. I'll grow them every year.

I was pleasantly surprised and delighted at the prompt shipment of my order and delighted at the quality and quantity of the plants! All 400 are growing fast (especially the TX supersweet). Many thanks to y'all and your staff!
