Planting & Care

Sow Maui onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden in early spring. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for bulb development.

Provide full sun and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water regularly, but reduce watering as bulbs mature to prevent rot. Mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Harvest when tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure bulbs in a dry, airy place before storing.
