Description

Be sure to check out our Onion Growing Guide for helpful tips & tricks on how to successfully grow onions in your garden. 

This variety produces jumbo, colossal onions that are easily larger than a softball. These perform best when planted in the fall and overwintered. If your winter temps are rarely below 20 degrees, this is the preferred growing method.

Plant Short-day varieties in fall and over-winter for a spring harvest. Short-day onion varieties start the bulbing process when day length reaches 10-12 hours.

Growing Information

Vidora Onion can be direct-seeded or transplanted, although we recommend transplanting. For direct-seeding, plant seeds 2″ apart along the row with a row spacing of 24″. Once seedlings emerge, thin seedlings to a 6″ plant spacing along the row. Vidora Onion seeds can be planted with our Hoss Garden Seeder. We recommend using a #1 seed plate and modifying the hole size slightly to accommodate the onion variety being planted. For denser plantings, more holes may need to be drilled to accommodate a thicker spacing.

For transplanting, plant one seed per cell in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Once the green stems reach 6-8″ in length and/or they can be easily pulled from the seed trays, the transplants are ready to go in the ground. Transplant onions 4-6″ apart along the row with a row spacing of 24″. If drip irrigation is used, onions may be planted on double rows with drip irrigation in the middle. We suggest burying the drip tape 3-4″ deep and planting on both sides of the tape.

Onions are heavy feeders and will require significant nutrient inputs throughout their lifespan. We recommend feeding them with our 20-20-20 and Calcium Nitrate fertilizers. Fertilize with 20-20-20 shortly after transplanting. The phosphorous and potassium in the 20-20-20 fertilizer will help to promote solid root development, while the nitrogen will promote vegetative growth. Once transplants are established, we recommend side-dressing or injecting with our Calcium Nitrate fertilizer. Side dress or inject 1 cup per 20 feet of linear row every 3-4 weeks after transplanting.

Vidora onion bundle

Onions received in very good condition in November. Immediately planted the onions and as of January 2025 they all have survived and are thriving. Have been alternating the recommended fertilization of a balanced fertilizer, using 10-10-10, and the Ammonium Sulfate. Looking forward to an abundantly sweet harvest!

Not a good start!

Let me start by saying i live in extreme south Alabama on the Gulf coast. When I received my onion plants, late November they were very yellow and slimy,to tell the truth I was not only upset about the timing of the delivery but also the condition of the plants. I immediately called customer service . Being upset about my plants I told the young lady my problem. Being ready to send all the plants directly back to HOSS.
The young lady was so nice about my problem that I decided to go ahead and plant and see how the do. They’re doing great!!!
Oh not to be left out she offered a complete refund .LOVE doing business with that kind of people!!!
