You can sow from February through July, or in the autumn for an early harvest the following year.
Sow the seeds at a depth of approximately 1 cm.
The plant prefers loose, sandy soil that drains well to avoid waterlogging.
No, it has low nutrient needs and excessive fertilization can negatively impact the flavor.
Keep a distance of 25 cm between rows to ensure proper growth and airflow.
Yes, it is an enduring, clump-forming plant that can survive through the winter in many climates due to its frost tolerance.
Ensure soil temperatures are adequate and the bed is kept consistently moist but not saturated during the 2-3 week germination phase.
This is likely due to waterlogging; improve soil drainage by adding sand or compost and ensure the site is not in a low-lying area.
Reduce frequency and amount of fertilization; the plant prefers leaner soil to develop its full aromatic profile.
To start your crop, sow seeds approximately 1 cm deep into well-loosened, sandy soil. The ideal temperature dictates a germination period of two to three weeks. Choose a location that receives full sun throughout the day. Avoid heavy clay soils, as these trap moisture and lead to root rot. Nährstoff (nutrient) needs are quite low; refrain from excessive nitrogen fertilization, as this can dilute the onion's signature pungent flavor. Regular weeding between the 25 cm row gaps will help the onions focus their energy on leaf and stalk production.
