#ProPlantTips for Care:

These easy-to-grow Onions are a favorite for beginner gardeners and experts alike. Plant them early in the cool spring weather, as soon as your soil can be worked. They thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil. Simply till or fluff your soil then plant your onions a few inches apart. Water them regularly and as needed to keep the plants stress-free

It is best to wait to harvest the large Onions until their foliage browns. Once their tops wilt and turn brown, it's time to harvest your sweet, stunning onions. Locate the Onions beneath the dried foliage, then gently pry them out with a spade or spading fork.

You can let them sit on top of the soil in the sun for a few days to help dry the roots down before tying the tops together in bunches and hanging them to dry in your garage to hand for a while. Then store until you're ready to eat them.
