Early purple-red-skinned mini onion.

These flavorful specialty onions mature early and hold well. Purplette is a glossy rich burgundy, transforming to a nice pastel pink when cooked or pickled. Can be harvested at golf ball size or very young as baby bunching onions with purple pearl ends. Best at 40ยฐ latitude and higher.

Specs:

  • Packet: 1,000 seeds
  • Avg. 120,000 seeds/lb

Size

Packet, 1 Ounce, 1/4 Pound, 1 Pound

SCIENTIFIC NAME

Allium cepa

CULTURE

Sow in early spring in 2-4" wide bands or single rows 4" apart, about 1/2" between seeds. Cover 1/4- 1/2". Thinning is not necessary. Keep free of weeds. As with all onions, full sun, consistent soil moisture, and a fertile soil with a pH of 6.2-6.8 are preferable.

HARVEST

Pull by the bunch whenever needed. No skin forms until 2-3 months into the season, making mini onions easy to wash and prepare.

ADAPTATION

Mini onions are smaller and earlier to bulb the further north they are grown. Suited to 40ยฐ and higher latitudes for pearl and cipollini onions, for small to medium onions at lower latitudes.

AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE

5M/50', 1 oz./80', 13 oz./1,000', 34 lb./acre at 96 seeds/ft. in 4" wide bands, in rows 12" apart.

SIZED SEEDS

All seeds are unsized.

SEED SPECS

SEEDS/LB.: 113,700-134,300 (avg. 123,300).
