Plant the small bulbs in spring, as soon as the soil is workable, in a full sun location. Prepare loose soil, enriched with well-decomposed organic matter and adequately drained. Install each bulb point-up, without compressing it, then water to aid recovery. Allow space for the onions to grow and for tools to pass between rows. Their roots remain relatively shallow: weed carefully to avoid damaging them. Regular moisture promotes growth, but waterlogged soil compromises the health of the bulbs. Observe the soil before re-watering.

During growth, remove competing weeds and monitor the foliage. Adjust watering based on rainfall and reduce it when the bulbs mature and the leaves begin to naturally fall over. Harvest carefully to avoid injury, then allow the onions to dry in a dry, well-ventilated place if you wish to store them. Sort the harvest and use damaged bulbs first, without storing any that show rot. Storage duration depends on the variety and storage conditions. Bulbs sold for planting are used to establish the crop; cook the harvested onions.

Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Growing method

Plant the small bulbs in spring, as soon as the soil is workable, in a full sun location. Prepare loose soil, enriched with well-decomposed organic matter and sufficiently drained. Plant each bulb point-side up, without compressing it, then water to facilitate establishment. Leave enough space for the onions to grow and for tools to pass between the rows. Their roots remain relatively shallow: weed carefully to avoid damaging them. Regular moisture promotes growth, but waterlogged soil compromises the health of the bulbs. Observe the soil before re-watering. During growth, remove competing weeds and monitor the foliage. Adjust watering according to rainfall and reduce it when the bulbs mature and the leaves begin to naturally fall over. Harvest carefully to avoid injury, then allow the onions to dry in a dry, well-ventilated place if you wish to store them. Sort the harvest and use damaged bulbs first, without storing those that show rot. Storage duration depends on the variety and storage conditions. Bulbs sold for planting are used to establish the crop; cook the harvested onions.

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 the root level. Direct the water to the base and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Ensure that 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 amount of water.

Soil type

Prepare loose soil, enriched with well-decomposed organic matter and adequately drained. Observe your site after rainfall to identify areas where water remains on the surface for a long time. Work the soil when it is crumbly: working it when it is waterlogged risks compacting it around the roots. Adapt soil amendments to the actual texture of the ground, without systematically adding sand or fertilizer. If you are growing in containers, use a suitable substrate and ensure that the drainage holes remain clear.

Fertilization

Adapt your fertilization to the richness of your soil and the needs of your crop. A soil analysis helps in choosing useful inputs before planting. Respect the dosage written on your fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account compost and other inputs already made to avoid feeding the same plant twice. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid any concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A larger input does not guarantee a better harvest.

Seasonal care

Plant small bulbs in spring, as soon as the soil is workable, in a full sun location. Prepare loose soil, enriched with well-decomposed organic matter and adequately drained. Place each bulb point up, without compressing it, then water to aid establishment. Leave enough space for the onions to grow and for tools to pass between rows. Their roots remain relatively superficial: weed carefully to avoid damaging them. Regular moisture promotes growth, but waterlogged soil compromises bulb health. Observe the soil before re-watering. During growth, remove competing weeds and monitor the foliage condition. Adjust watering according to rainfall and reduce it when the bulbs mature and leaves naturally start to fall over. Harvest carefully to avoid injury, then let the onions dry in a dry, well-ventilated place if you wish to store them. Sort the harvest and use damaged bulbs first, without storing any showing rot. Storage duration depends on the variety and storage conditions. Bulbs sold for planting are used to establish the crop; cook the harvested onions. Regularly observe growth and soil moisture throughout the season. Remove diseased waste and clean your tools before working on another planting. At harvest, handle edible parts carefully to limit injuries that can accelerate their degradation.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Container growing 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 potting mix. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding the plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the recommended 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.

Bloom and dimensions

Its place,in your garden.

Bloom period

Onions grown for their harvest can bolt under certain growing conditions. Monitor for the appearance of a central stem and separate affected plants from those intended for long-term storage. Flowering is not the objective of this vegetable crop: prioritize monitoring the foliage and bulb development. Harvest and use the edible parts according to the onion type, then carefully sort your harvest before cooking or storing it.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

Install neighboring crops at a sufficient distance to avoid hindering maintenance or blocking the light needed for this planting. Compare their mature height and water needs before sharing the same space. Keep paths clear to water and harvest without damaging the leaves. Companion planting in the vegetable garden should primarily facilitate care and space utilization; it does not guarantee protection against diseases or pests. Clearly separate different varieties with labels to identify each one at harvest time and track your results throughout the seasons.

Recipe idea

From the gardento your plate.

Edible parts

Bulbs and young leaves harvested; exclude bulbs sold for planting

Melted onions in a pan. Use healthy, well-cleaned onions from your harvest. Remove the dry skin and damaged parts, then slice the bulbs into 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 thyme at the end of cooking if desired. 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, not with sets intended for planting.

How to successfully plant ‘Spanish’ Onions

Plant the small bulbs in spring, as soon as the soil is workable, in a full sun location. Prepare a loose soil, enriched with well-decomposed organic matter and sufficiently drained. Place each bulb point up, without compressing it, then water to facilitate recovery. Leave enough space for the onions to grow and for tools to pass between the rows. Their roots remain relatively shallow: weed carefully so as not to damage them. Regular moisture promotes growth, but waterlogged soil compromises the health of the bulbs. Observe the soil before re-watering.

What light should I provide for 'Spanish' 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 neighboring plants: their foliage can obscure a young plant as it develops. For container plants, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with appropriate 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 do I adjust the watering?

Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding on further watering: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct the water to the base and allow it to 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 saucers that hold water. Also, adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a dormant period do not require the same amount of water.

What do I need for container gardening?

Container gardening requires considering the necessary volume for the roots 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 planting depth and spacing, rather than overcrowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the specified exposure and regularly check the moisture level, especially during hot or windy weather. A pot is more susceptible to temperature variations than plants in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location from the outset that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

What care should be planned after the growing season?

During growth, remove competing weeds and monitor the foliage condition. Adjust watering according to rainfall and reduce it when the bulbs mature and the leaves begin to naturally droop. Harvest carefully to avoid injury, then dry the onions in a dry, well-ventilated place if you wish to store them. Sort the harvest and use damaged bulbs first, without storing any that show rot. Storage duration depends on the variety and storage conditions. Bulbs sold for planting are used to establish the crop; cook the harvested onions.
