For an exceptional homegrown flavor, stock up on our Red Burgundy Onion Seeds:
Savor the satisfaction of cultivating your own onions under full sun! Plant the seeds in fertile soil, about 1/4 inch deep and spaced 4 to 6 inches apart.
Start sowing as soon as the soil becomes workable in spring, typically late March or April. Ensure a balance in watering; onions need consistent moisture, but overwatering can lead to rot. Bend over the tops when they start to yellow to encourage maturation.
The growing period usually extends from 95 to 165 days.
Your onions are ready to harvest when their tops yellow and fall over.
Gently pull the onions, brush off excess soil, and let them cure in a warm, dry location—away from direct sunlight—for 1 to 2 weeks before storing.
Beyond being a culinary delight, Red Burgundy Onions serve a protective role in your garden. Their strong scent can keep certain pests at bay, acting as guardians for your other plants.
Plus, the brilliant red of these onions adds a visual feast to your garden's landscape!
