Growing Info

SOWING:

Sow indoors from late Feb-mid March, 6-8 weeks before your last frost. 

Transplant out 4-6 weeks before the last frost date (April-early May).

Note: Long-day onions are perfect for growing at higher latitudes, north of 35 degrees. 

PLANTING DEPTH:

1/4-1/2"

SPACING:

4" spacing in rows 15-24" apart.

EMERGENCE:

7-14 days @ soil temp 60-75F

LIGHT:

Full sun

FERTILITY:

Medium-Heavy. Prefers well-drained, loamy, well-balanced fertile soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0. 

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Alliums would like you to keep them well-weeded as they are slow-growing and compete poorly.

Onion bulbing is sensitive to day-length. 

Shallow-rooted onions prefer even watering.

Harvest when the tops have fallen over. We sun-cure, placing the bulbs on screens and taking care to cover each one with the next onions leaves.
