Planting & Care

Start Burrell's Yellow Valencia onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep moist at around 70°F for germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Once seedlings are sturdy, harden them off and transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 4-6 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart.

Onions require consistent moisture during the growing season, but reduce watering as bulbs mature to prevent rot. Mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Stop watering when tops begin to yellow and fall over. Harvest when necks are dry and skins are papery, then cure in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks before storing in a cool, dark place.
