What you need to know to Plant & Grow
- Sowing: Seed can be started indoors in a soil-less growing medium in February. The seedlings can then be transplanted outside later in spring. Seed can also be sown directly outdoors from mid-April, 8-15 mm deep and 15 mm apart in rows 30 cm apart. One packet sows approximately 6 m of row.
- Care: Onions do best in a sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil. Irrigation is often needed to maintain full bulb development. Light cultivation between rows through the season is essential to reduce competition from weeds. Bend over any flower stalks that start to grow so the plant’s energy goes into building the bulb.
- Harvesting: Thin to 7.5 cm apart for these sweet Spanish types. Harvest the large bulbs when the tops start to yellow and fall over.
- Germination: Germination takes approximately 1-2 weeks (7-14 days).
