Grow your own pungent, nutrient-rich small onions right in your terrace garden or home containers.
Small red onions (shallots / sambar onions) are celebrated across Indian cuisine for their sharp, intense aroma, sweetness when sautéed, and dense nutritional profile. Viyogan Organics Small Onion Seeds produce firm, pinkish-red multi-multiplier bulbs with tight skins and exceptional shelf life. Specially selected for high germination and vigorous root systems, they perform reliably in shallow containers, wide grow bags, and raised beds.
Key Features & Benefits:
Rich, Concentrated Flavour: Delivers superior pungency, natural sweetness, and essential aroma compared to standard large onions.
Dual-Harvest Value: Harvest tender, flavorful green onion tops (scallions) during early growth, followed by fully cured subterranean bulbs at maturity.
100% Non-GMO & Open-Pollinated: Untreated, heirloom-quality seeds free from synthetic coatings.
High Germination Rate (80%+): Tested for uniform seedling emergence within 7–12 days.
Container & Terrace Friendly: Shallow root architecture thrives in wide rectangular grow bags (e.g., 24x12 or 24x9 inches) and standard 12-inch deep pots.
Excellent Storage Life: Produces firm bulbs with tight papery skins that store well in dry, aerated conditions.

Sowing Method: Sow directly or start in seedling trays 0.5 cm deep in loose, well-draining potting soil.
Spacing: Space seedlings 3–4 inches apart in rows spaced 6 inches apart.
