Planting & Care

Sow Patterson onion seeds indoors about 8 to 10 weeks before the last expected frost, or direct sow outdoors once the soil can be worked. Start seeds in a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix and keep them consistently damp until germination. Provide bright light and good airflow to encourage sturdy seedlings.

Transplant seedlings into the garden after hardening off, spacing them about 4 to 6 inches apart in rows. Keep the soil evenly moist during active growth, and reduce watering as bulbs mature and tops begin to fall over. Harvest when the tops yellow and dry, then cure the bulbs in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area before storing.
