Planting & Care

Sow Red Creole onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in fall in mild climates. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings are sturdy, thin them to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for bulb development.

Water regularly during the growing season, but reduce watering as bulbs mature to help prevent rot. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, then cure the bulbs in a dry, airy location before storing.
