How to grow Onion 'White'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. White is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. White needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Growing White from seed

Aim to sow 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing White about 28 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting White

White is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

Harvesting White

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in early autumn.
