Baggi Onion is a long-season bulbing onion that takes 110-120 days from direct seeding to reach full maturity, rewarding patient gardeners with substantial yields. This variety belongs to Allium cepa, the species that includes most common culinary onions, and thrives in the slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0) that most garden beds naturally provide. With close spacing requirements of just 2 inches between plants and 12 inches between rows, Baggi Onion maximizes productivity in compact garden spaces. Its extended growing season allows it to develop fully formed bulbs with protective papery skin, making it exceptionally reliable for storage and winter use.

Baggi Onion's extended 110-120 day growing window allows the bulbs to fully mature and develop the thick, protective skin layers that make storage varieties so prized by home gardeners. The tight 2-inch spacing between plants means you can pack remarkable numbers into a small footprint, turning modest garden real estate into a serious onion harvest. Combined with straightforward growing requirements and high water tolerance, this cultivar delivers dependable productivity without fussy demands.
As a storage onion, Baggi Onion is grown primarily for keeping through winter months and into spring, making it essential for cooks who want year-round access to fresh onions without relying on grocery stores. Its fully mature bulbs suit long-term pantry storage rather than fresh market or green onion use.

Sow up to 10-12 seeds in a 4-6 inch pot. If seedling tops reach over 5 inches before transplanting, cut them back to 3 inches to encourage sturdy growth. This method works well when you want to extend your growing season or start multiple plants simultaneously.
When seedlings are ready, carefully separate them and place each in a shallow trench in your prepared bed. Fill soil around seedlings and water in well to eliminate air pockets and establish good soil contact.
Direct seed Baggi Onion where you want it to grow, calculating days to maturity from the date of sowing. Thin seedlings to the strongest plant when they reach 4-5 inches tall, leaving proper spacing for bulb development.
Allow Baggi Onion to mature fully over its 110-120 day growing window. When about half of the tops have naturally fallen over, push the remainder down by hand and wait approximately one week before harvesting. Pull bulbs when ready, brushing away excess soil but leaving the dried outer papery skin intact.
