Planting & Care

Start Red Grano onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings are established, thin them to the recommended spacing to allow room for bulb development.

Onions require full sun and regular watering, especially during dry spells. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Stop watering when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, signaling that the bulbs are nearing maturity. Harvest when the necks are soft and the tops have dried, then cure the bulbs in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area before storing.
