Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Watering
Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rainfall, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding on further watering: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at root level. Direct the water to the base and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any saucers that retain water. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same inputs.
Soil type
Easy to grow, they adapt well to different soil types and offer a generous harvest in late summer. In spring (March-April), when the soil is workable and the risks of severe frost have passed. Use well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Water moderately after planting, without waterlogging the soil. Gardening tip: Light mulching helps keep the soil cool and prevents weeds.
Fertilization
Adapt fertilization to your soil's richness and the crop's needs. A soil analysis helps in selecting useful inputs before planting. Adhere to the dosage indicated on your fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before application. Take into account compost and other inputs already applied to avoid overfeeding the same plant. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A higher application does not guarantee a better harvest.

Remove diseased debris and clean your tools before working on another planting. When harvesting, handle edible parts carefully to limit damage that can accelerate their degradation.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Container gardening requires you to plan for the necessary root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable growing medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting in the ground. Therefore, plan from the outset for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Plant bulbs pointed side up, 1 inch (2.5 cm (0.98 in)) deep and 4 inches (10 cm (4 in)) apart in rows spaced 12 inches (30 cm). Use well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water moderately after planting, without saturating the soil. Weed regularly to avoid competition with young plants. Avoid excessive watering at the end of the growing season to promote preservation. When the stems begin to yellow and fall over, it's a sign that the bulbs are ready for harvest.

The 'Mixed' onion blend allows you to grow different varieties of globe onions, offering a palette of flavors and colors to enrich your cooking.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
Install neighboring crops at a sufficient distance to avoid hindering maintenance or blocking the light needed for the main plant. Compare their mature height and water needs before sharing the same space. Keep paths clear for watering and harvesting without damaging leaves. Companion planting in the garden should primarily facilitate care and efficient use of space; it does not guarantee protection against diseases or pests. Clearly separate different varieties with labels to identify each at harvest time and track your results over the seasons.
Recipe idea
From the gardento your plate.
Edible parts
Bulbs and young leaves harvested; exclude bulbs sold for planting
Sautéed melting onions. Use onions from your harvest, healthy and well-cleaned. Remove the dry skin and damaged parts, then slice the bulbs into pieces of similar thickness. Heat a little oil or butter in a fairly large pan and add the onions with a pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring regularly, without trying to brown them too quickly. If they start to stick, add a small amount of water and gently scrape the bottom with a spoon. Continue until the slices are tender and lightly golden. Season with pepper to your taste and add, if you wish, some thyme at the end of cooking. Serve these onions with vegetables, in a savory tart, or as a hot sandwich filling. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the slices and the quantity in the pan. Prepare this recipe with bulbs harvested from the garden, after cultivation, and not with bulbils intended for planting.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions,answered.
How to successfully plant 'Mixed' Onion?
Plant bulbs with the pointed end facing up, 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and 4 inches (10 cm) apart in rows spaced 12 inches (30 cm) apart. Use well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water moderately after planting, without saturating the soil. Weed regularly to prevent competition with young plants. Avoid excessive watering at the end of the growing season to promote preservation. When the stems begin to yellow and fall over, it is a sign that the bulbs are ready for harvest. Keep a durable label to easily locate this planting during its dormant period.
What light should I provide for 'Mixed' Onion?
The recommended exposure is full sun. Observe the light in your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider nearby plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it develops. For container plants, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Appropriate exposure must go hand in hand with suitable soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors to the outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.
How to adjust watering?
Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding on re-watering: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct the water to the base and let it penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any water-filled saucers. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same inputs.
What to plan for container gardening?
Container gardening requires anticipating the necessary volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in open ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.
What care should be planned after the growing season?
Air-dry them for a few days before storing them in a cool, dry place. Gardening tip: Light mulching keeps the soil cool and prevents weeds. Delicious raw in salads for a crunchy touch. Ideal for stir-fries, soups, and stews. Excellent for preserving and winter storage. Perfect as candied onions to accompany meats and cheeses. Cooking tip: For perfect caramelized onions, sauté them over low heat with a little butter and a pinch of sugar! Add these varied onions to your vegetable garden and enjoy an abundant and gourmet harvest!
