Aftercare
Plant the onion sets with the tip just visible above the soil surface. Keep the growing area weed-free and water during extended dry periods to encourage strong bulb development. Harvest once the foliage naturally yellows and falls over. Allow the onions to dry thoroughly in a warm, airy place before storing in a cool, dry location where they will keep well for months.
