Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about onion seed planting, bulb development, and harvesting.
How long does it take to grow onions from seeds?
Onions generally take around 90–120 days or longer to mature from seeds, depending on the variety, planting season, and growing conditions. Some varieties require additional time before producing mature bulbs.
When should onion seeds be planted in the USA?
Onion seeds are commonly started in late winter or early spring in colder regions. In areas with mild winters, fall planting may also be suitable. Choose short-day, intermediate-day, or long-day onion varieties according to your location and daylight conditions.
What is the difference between short-day and long-day onion seeds?
Short-day onions begin bulb formation with approximately 10–12 hours of daylight and are generally suited to southern growing regions. Long-day onions need approximately 14–16 hours of daylight and are better suited to northern regions. Intermediate-day varieties grow well in many areas between these regions.
