Texas Super Sweet Onion seeds for the kitchen garden that intends to actually produce texas super sweet onion this year. The Texas Super Sweet onion is the rare vegetable that makes raw onion something people actually choose.

Texas Super Sweet Onion is a large, mild sweet onion with excellent fresh eating quality and the patience to wait until properly ready. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.

How to Grow Texas Super Sweet Onion from Seed

Sowing and Germination

Start indoors 10-12 weeks before last frost. Transplant in early spring. Full sun, fertile soil.

Care and Harvest

Large, flat onion with mild sweet flavour. Excellent for fresh eating. 110-120 days. Harvest when tops fall.

Why Vacuum-Sealed Seeds Last Longer

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.

About the Packaging

Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
