The skin of the 4 - 5” bulbs dry to a deep maroon red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFOR BEST RESULTS\u003cbr\u003eFor big bulbs: sow seeds in early spring as soon as soil can be worked; or in mild growing areas, sow seeds in fall to overwinter for spring growth. To Start Transplants: sow 1 in. apart in a container of seed starting mix and cover about 1\/4 in. deep. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are 2 to 3 in. tall. Transplant 4 in. apart, burying crowns 1 in. deep. To Start Outdoors: sow seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Space 1 in. apart in rows 8 in. apart. Cover 1\/4 in. deep, firm soil well over seeds and keep evenly moist. Thin seedlings gradually to final 4 in. spacing, using the tasty thinnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGROWING NOTES\u003cbr\u003eBefore planting, thoroughly work compost or well-aged manure and bone meal into the soil. It is critical to weed onions carefully and mulch once soil warms up to conserve moisture. Side dress lightly several times during the growing season with a general purpose fertilizer; stop fertilizing during the last 2 months of growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHARVEST AND USE\u003cbr\u003eHarvest bulbs about midsummer when bulbs are sized up and about half the onion tops are bent over. Stop watering and bend the rest down and lay in the sun for another 7 to 10 days or until tops dry. Store in a cool, airy place. Use soon as these heirlooms are not known as long keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoil temperature: 60 - 65 degrees fahrenheit\u003cbr\u003eSeeding depth: 0.25 - 0.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eGermination days: 6 - 12 days\u003cbr\u003eGrow on temperature day: 55 - 60 degrees fahrenheit\u003cbr\u003eWeeks indoor: 5 - 8 weeks\u003cbr\u003eMaturation days: 107 days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haiyiplants","offers":[{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":45186690187287,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":45186690220055,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":45186690252823,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/1616\/5911\/files\/2_8277efa2-d295-4641-9d8b-f03c9807bbd1.jpg?v=1780406926","url":"https:\/\/easytogrowbulb.com\/products\/onion-monastrell-f1-organic","provider":"Easytogrowbulb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
