• Reliable Kitchen Crop: The medium-sized bulbs are useful for everyday cooking and are ready to harvest in approximately 90–100 days under suitable growing conditions.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose Full Sun: Plant where onions receive full sunlight for strong leaf growth and good bulb development.
• Prepare the Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and keep the planting area free of competing weeds.
• Start or Sow: Sow directly outdoors or start seeds indoors when you want to get plants established before moving them to the garden.
• Space for Bulbs: Thin or transplant seedlings so developing bulbs have room to size up, using approximately 4–6 inches between plants.
• Water Consistently: Keep the soil evenly moist while plants are establishing and bulbs are developing, but avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Feed Thoughtfully: Begin with fertile soil and use a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to its label directions when plants need additional nutrition.
