Planting & Care
Start Redwing onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings are established, thin them to 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 retain moisture. Harvest when tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure bulbs in a dry, well-ventilated area before storing.
