Planting and Growing Instructions

• Days to Maturity: 100–120 days, depending on growing conditions.

• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.

• Plant Spacing: Thin to 4–6 inches apart, with 12–18 inches between rows for optimal bulb development.

• Days to Germination: 7–14 days with consistent moisture and temperatures between 65–75°F.

• Sun or Shade: Full sun is essential for vigorous growth and proper bulb formation.

• Indoor or Outdoor Planting: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date for an earlier harvest. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors once the soil temperature reaches 50°F. For direct sowing, ensure soil is free of rocks and debris that may inhibit bulb development.

Red October onions thrive in a variety of climates, but they perform best in zones 3–9. Regular watering is key during the growing season, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when the tops fall over naturally and the bulbs are fully developed. Cure in a warm, dry location for several weeks to extend storage life.
