The Starke Ayres Red Creole Onion is a high-yielding variety, widely appreciated for its uniform bulbs, disease resistance, and strong, pungent flavor. It is best sown in seed trays or directly into well-drained soil, ensuring a spacing of 8 cm between plants and 20 cm between rows for optimal bulb formation.
Seedlings require consistent moisture during germination, taking approximately 7–14 days to sprout. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances root establishment, while regular watering supports bulb enlargement.
Harvesting occurs approximately 90–120 days after planting, producing firm, glossy red onions ideal for cooking, salads, and long-term storage.
