Planting Guide
For successful cultivation of Red Burgundy Onions:
- Plant these seeds in fertile soil 1/4 inch deep and spaced 4 to 6 inches apart.
- Commence sowing as soon as the soil becomes workable in spring, typically late March or April.
- Maintain a balance in watering. Onions require consistent moisture, but excessive watering can cause rot.
- When the tops start to yellow, bend them over to stimulate maturation.
- Expect a growth period extending from 95 to 165 days.
Harvesting Guide
Your Red Burgundy Onions are ready for harvest when their tops yellow and topple:
- Carefully extract the onions, dust off excess soil, and allow them to cure in a warm, dry spot—shielded from direct sunlight—for 1 to 2 weeks before storing.
