The Starke Ayres Texas Grano Onion is a high-yielding variety, widely appreciated for its uniform bulbs, disease resistance, and culinary versatility. It is best sown in seed trays or directly into well-drained soil, ensuring a spacing of 20 cm between plants for optimal bulb formation.
Seedlings require consistent moisture during germination, taking approximately 10–12 days to sprout. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances root establishment, while regular watering supports bulb enlargement.
Harvesting occurs approximately 200 days after planting, producing large, sweet onions ideal for cooking, salads, and long-term storage.
