Winter Onions Grow Guide

Tips for growing Winter Onions

Winter onions can be planted any time the ground can be worked – usually between October and December in most climates – or two to three weeks before the first hard freeze. Growing winter onions require full sun, as the onions won't grow in shade.

Plant them approx 10cm/4in apart in rows that are 30cm/12in apart.

Leave about a quarter of the onion set showing about the surface of the soil, just the tip of the bulb.

  • Plant between October-late November
  • Choose a site with full sun
  • Leave the tip of the onion set showing above the soil
  • Plant 2-4 inches apart in rows with 10-12 inches spacing
  • Netting can be used to keep the birds at bay!

 

Tips for growing Winter Garlic

In the Ground:

Garlic is usually planted in late autumn or early winter, as it needs a period of cold – most varieties need one to two months at 0–10°C (32–50°F) for good bulb development. However, some cultivars are suitable for planting in early spring.

Once you have prepared your planting site (see above), carefully break up your garlic bulbs into individual cloves. Be sure to plant them the right way up, with the flat end downwards and the pointed end upwards.

Space the cloves 15cm (6in) apart, with the tip 2.5cm (1in) below the soil surface. In light soil, deeper planting can produce larger bulbs, but don’t plant deeply in heavy soil. Space rows 30cm (1ft) apart.

Prevent birds from pulling up newly planted cloves by covering with horticultural fleece until well rooted in.

 

Planting garlic in modules

On heavy, wet soil, garlic is best started off in modules in autumn, overwintered in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse, then planted out in spring.

  • Partly fill a modular tray with multi-purpose or soil-based compost
  • Insert one clove into each module and cover with compost
  • Keep in a cool place – a well-ventilated cold frame is ideal – to provide protection from excess rain and the harshest winter weather 
  • Make sure the compost is moist but not wet 
  • Plant out in spring, into prepared ground (see above), 15cm (6in) apart
