Planting & Care

Start White Sweet Spanish Onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date for transplanting, or sow directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow bulbs to develop properly.

Onions require consistent moisture during the growing season, but reduce watering as bulbs mature to prevent rot. Mulch around plants to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Harvest when tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure bulbs in a dry, well-ventilated area before storing.
