Planting & Care
Sturon onion seeds can be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or sown directly outdoors in early spring once the soil is workable. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil. Keep the seedbed moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 4-6 inches apart to allow room for bulb development.
Onions require consistent moisture during the growing season, but reduce watering as bulbs mature to prevent rot. Mulch around plants to suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Harvest when tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure bulbs in a dry, well-ventilated area before storing.
