After Arrival

Unpack promptly and check the plants for dryness. Temporary wilting or minor leaf damage can occur during shipping. Keep the plants in a cool, sheltered location and plant promptly when conditions are suitable. If roots are dry, moisten them gently without leaving plants standing in water.

Planting and Care

Choose a sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil. Follow your local planting calendar for short-day onions; planting dates vary by climate. Set roots into the soil with the base of the plant just below the surface, leaving room between plants for bulbs to develop. Avoid burying plants deeply.

Water after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and bulb growth without waterlogging. Reduce weed competition and fertilize according to local onion-growing guidance and the fertilizer label. Bulb formation depends on day length, planting date, and growing conditions.

Harvest

Plants may be harvested young for green onions or left to develop bulbs. For bulb onions, harvest when tops begin to fall and the bulbs are mature. Dry and cure in a sheltered, well-ventilated place before storage, checking regularly for damage or decay. Flavor, bulb size, harvest timing, and storage life vary with conditions and care.
