Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Once seedlings are sturdy, thin them to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for bulb development. Onions benefit from consistent watering and a layer of mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Stop watering when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, signaling that bulbs are nearing maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest when the necks soften and the tops dry out. Carefully lift the bulbs and cure them in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area for a few days before storing. Walla Walla onions are best used fresh as they do not store as long as pungent storage varieties, but they can be kept for several weeks in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Walla Walla Sweet Onion seeds (Allium cepa).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776122782006,"sku":"FOLIA-208","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6558149233_mci9.jpg?v=1792467946","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/walla-walla-sweet-onion-seeds-100-seeds-allium-cepa-large-mild-onions","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
