Plant Care & Growing Tips

To successfully grow yellow onions from our super sweet yellow onion sets, proper care is essential. Onions thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample light throughout the growing season. Ensure the soil is well-draining, loose, and rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal. Before planting, amend heavy clay soils with compost or sand to improve drainage, and add a balanced fertilizer to enrich the soil.

Plant your heirloom onion bulbs about 1 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. Water immediately after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. During the growing season, consistent moisture is key; aim for about one inch of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to rot. Fertilize every few weeks with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer, especially one higher in nitrogen during the initial growth phase. As the bulbs begin to swell, switch to a fertilizer with a higher potassium content. Keep the area around your non-gmo onion sets free of weeds, as weeds compete for nutrients and moisture.

Onions are relatively resilient, but watch out for common pests like onion thrips and onion maggots. Good garden hygiene and proper spacing can help prevent these issues. For disease prevention, ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering late in the day. These cold hardy onion bulbs are quite robust, but protection during extreme cold snaps can be beneficial in certain zones. Harvest your onions when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, typically in late summer or early fall. Allow them to cure in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area for a few weeks before storing.
