Know before you sow
Quick Facts
Growing times vary with weather, soil and local conditions.
Growing guide
From seed to harvestSow thickly
Sow in early spring in 2–4" bands, seeds about 1/2" apart and 1/4–1/2" deep. No thinning needed.
Latitude matters
Small onions stay smallest and earliest in the North; farther south they size up to small or medium bulbs.
Pull as needed
Harvest bunches any time; skins only form after two to three months.
Growing Information
Scientific name
Allium cepa
Site and soil
Like all onions, these need full sun, steady moisture and fertile soil with a pH of 6.2–6.8. Keep the bed weeded.
Days to maturity
Counted from direct sowing.
Where they grow
Small onions bulb earlier and stay smaller the farther north they are grown. Pearl and cipollini types are best at about 40° latitude and north; farther south, the same varieties make small to medium onions.
Sowing
Sow in early spring in bands 2–4" wide or in single rows 4" apart, with seeds about 1/2" apart, and cover 1/4–1/2" deep. No thinning is needed.
Seeding rate
At 96 seeds per foot in 4" bands 12" apart: about 5,000 seeds per 50 ft., 1 oz. per 80 ft. and roughly 34 lb. per acre.
Harvest
Pull bunches whenever you need them. A papery skin does not form until two to three months into the season, so young onions are quick to clean and prepare.
Seed size
Seed is not sized.
Packet
1,000 seeds.
Seeds per lb.
