When Do I Plant Onion Seeds?

Generally, onion seeds prefer cooler temperatures to germinate and grow so should be sown from autumn through winter to early spring depending on your location. Onion seed is best sown direct where you want them to grow although you can transplant seedlings. Consult our product information online for specific timing recommendations. 


When Should I Harvest Onions?

During their growth, onions will produce necks that sprout out of the ground and will grow straight upwards. Once the onion’s neck becomes soft and begins to naturally fall over and bend they are ready to harvest. This typically occurs 120 days from direct sowing, depending on the variety of onion seed. Harvest onions by pulling them out of the ground from the bottom of their necks. Once they are out of the ground, cure onions in the sun for a few days to allow the skins to form and then move them inside ideally somewhere with good airflow where they can continue to dry.
