Do not wet them or stick their roots in soil or water. When you obtain onion plants, they should be dry. Transplants should be spaced 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Set plants with the bottom of the plant about 1 to 1½ inches below the surface of the soil. Plants should be about 6 inches high and about half the thickness of a lead pencil at the time of transplanting. Planting Onions from Transplants: Set out transplants from late December through February. If larger bulbs are desired, thin in spring to 4 inches apart and eat the thinned plants as green onions. Sow eight to 12 seeds per foot of row ½ to ¾ inches deep. Seed is not a recommended method for growing onions in the Piedmont area of South Carolina. Planting Onions from Seed: Plant onion seed directly in the garden in fall in Coastal and Central areas of the state. Planting too early can result in increased seed stem production. Late plantings are more susceptible to cold or freeze injury. Avoid sets more than an inch in diameter, as they are likely to bolt. Planting Onions from Sets: Onions grown from sets do not make the best bulbs, and are rather costly. Thinnings of seed-grown bulb onions can also be eaten as green onions. Sets and plants will be ready to eat in six to eight weeks.

Keep the beds moist until plants are established.įor green or bunching onions, use sets or transplants in the spring. Irrigate immediately after setting to firm the soil around roots, reduce air pockets that dry out young roots, and ensure good soil moisture for new root growth.

Add organic matter to the garden soil to prevent compaction. Planting in raised garden rows will ensure better drainage and make pulling the soil away from the bulbs easier at maturity.
