Planting & Care

Start Ruby Red Onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings are established, thin them to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for bulb development. Onions require full sun and regular watering, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stop watering when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, signaling that the bulbs are nearing maturity. Harvest when the tops have dried, and cure the onions in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area before storing.
