Sow seeds in spring, after the last frost has passed, in a position that receives full sun.
Follow the specific depth instructions on the seed packet, but typically onion seeds are sown about 1cm deep.
Yes, they can be grown in containers, provided the container is deep enough and has good drainage, and the pot is placed in full sun.
Harvest when the green tops begin to yellow and fall over, usually between June and August. Gently lift the bulbs from the soil.
Properly cured small onions can store for several months in a cool, dry, and dark place.
It means the onion variety is resilient and can still produce a reasonable harvest even in soil that is not particularly fertile or well-amended.
Each packet contains approximately 500 seeds.
Ensure seeds are sown at the correct depth, soil is kept moist, and the temperature is suitable for germination. Old seed may have reduced viability.
This is the expected result for 'Paris Silver Skinned' when sown thickly. For slightly larger bulbs, thin the seedlings to a greater spacing.
Practice companion planting with mint or other deterrent plants. Ensure good crop rotation year to year.
Ensure the plants receive adequate sunlight and consistent watering. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can promote leafy growth over bulb development.
