Cultivation and Care

Sow in spring or late winter in well-prepared soil. You can start the seeds in a nursery and transplant when the plants have 8 to 10 leaves, or sow directly outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. Space plants 10 to 15 cm apart and allow 30 to 45 cm between rows to encourage bulb development.

• Shallow sowing depth, about 0.5 to 1 cm, then thin out to ensure good air circulation and prevent diseases.
• Water regularly without overwatering and mulch to maintain soil moisture and limit weed growth.
• Apply a balanced fertilizer throughout the growing period to support bulb development.

Harvest, Storage, and Uses

When the foliage begins to wilt, harvesting can be considered. Dry the onions in a well-ventilated area before storing them in a cool, dry place. This variety is designed for reasonable storage, allowing you to stagger your culinary uses without loss of flavor.
