Most transplants take about 2 months to grow into mature onions. Onions can be grown from seeds, sets (young, small dormant bulbs grown the previous year), or transplants. Red onions (allium cepa) feature red or purple skins surrounding red and white interior layers. It can take up to five months for plants to mature enough to harvest. When starting onion plants from seed, allow the soil temperature to warm to at least 50 degrees fahrenheit before sowing. In areas with mild winters, you can plant varieties of short-day onions four weeks before the first frost in fall.
