  • Species and varieties: The Russian Heirloom Giant Onion is a variety of Allium cepa, known for its large size and robust flavor. This heirloom variety has been passed down through generations and is prized for its ability to produce large, flavorful bulbs.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: This seed is an heirloom variety, meaning it is open-pollinated and has been preserved through traditional gardening practices. Heirloom seeds are valued for their genetic diversity and historical significance.
  • Pruning and training: Onions do not require pruning or training. However, it is important to keep the area free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilization needs: Onions are heavy feeders and benefit from a balanced fertilizer. Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer at planting and switch to a phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizer as the bulbs begin to form. Regular feeding every few weeks will support healthy growth and bulb development.
  • Hardiness zones: Russian Heirloom Giant Onions can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 3-9. They are quite adaptable and can thrive in a range of climates.
  • Climate requirements: These onions prefer a temperate climate with full sun exposure. They require well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Consistent moisture is important, especially during the growing season, but the soil should not be waterlogged.
