Heirloom Onion Seeds for Storage and Fresh Use

About

Onion Seeds should help a gardener make a decision, not simply present a wall of packets. Choose onions by day-length response and harvest type before color or name. Bunching onions do not form storage bulbs; short-day and intermediate bulbing types need a climate match. Begin with life cycle, season, root behavior, and water. Warm annual basil does not belong on the same schedule as cilantro. Lavender and rosemary cannot be watered like parsley. Onions and leeks are shallow rooted and ask for steady moisture, while established thyme and oregano resent wet feet.

Traditional use is described as history and culture, not medical advice. Variety stories are not enlarged beyond the record. Use the linked field guides to compare germination, containers, pruning, harvest, seed saving, and regional timing. A good packet begins with a clear name. A good garden begins with a clear plan.
