Named after Southport Connecticut and grown along Connecticut's Mill River. Southport was known as the Onion Capital during the Civil War. Grow anywhere but loves cool weather.

Growing Hints:

1. Onions can take several months to mature from seed so it is better to start indoors then set out or they may be grown indoors in containers for year round production
2. Plant the seeds 1/4" deep in flats or pots 2-3 months before the last frost date
3. Keep soil moist and at room temperature
4. When tops begin to bend over trim them down to about 3" to for root growth
5. Four weeks before the last frost or when the SOIL temperature reaches at least 50 degrees F, transplant the seedlings 3" apart in rows 12" apart
6. For direct sowing outdoors, sow four-five seeds per inch 1/4" deep in rich composted soil with full sun
7. Use as a companion plant with cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and keep moist

USES:
They can be used fresh in salads and cooking


Plant Care: For the biggest yields grow plants in raised composted beds. Water regularly.
