How To Grow:
280 seeds/gram Seed can be started indoors in a soil-less growing medium in February. The seedlings can then be transplanted outside later in spring. Seed can also be sown directly outdoors from mid April, 8-15 mm (1/4-1/2") deep and 15 mm (1/2") apart in rows 30 cm (12") apart. Thin seedlings to 12.5 cm (5") apart. Onions do best in a sunny site with fertile, well drained soil. Bend over any flower stalks that start to grow so the plant's energy goes into building the bulb. One packet sows approximately 6 m (20’) of row.
Life Cycle: Biennial Harvested as an Annual
Propagation: Start Indoors for an Earlier Crop or Sow Direct
Days to Emergence: 10-14
Light: Full Sun
Growth Habit: Root Crop
Height: Tall (> 70 cm)
Frost Tolerance: Can Withstand Light Frost
Days to Harvest: 125
Degree of Difficulty: Prior Experience Beneficial
