Up for auction is10 GIANT ALLIUM GLOBEMASTER Allium Giganteum Flower Seeds. These seeds will be mailed free via USPS regular mail inside a clear zip lock bag. No written instructions on the packet, so I am including information below:
Instructions
1.Fill a plastic dish with loamy soil (soil that is a mixture of sand, clay, and organic matter). You want the soil to have a high level of organic matter to help nourish the new onions. Use a four inch by four inch plastic container to provide your seed with a safe place to germinate. The plastic container should be about five inches deep.
2.Dig a hole into the soil. The hole should be at least a half an inch deep to accommodate your onion seeds. Use a pair of tweezers to lift the onion seeds and drop them into the holes you create. The onion seeds are very small, so move slowly and with caution to ensure you do not lose any seeds. Cover the seeds with soil.
3.Water the seeds with a water bottle. You want to use the misting feature on the water bottle to ensure you do not accidentally uncover the seeds. Keep the seeds relatively moist while you wait for them to sprout.
4.Set the dish with the seeds in a sunny location. Like most plants, onions need a place with direct sunlight for the greater part of the day in order to thrive. For onions, you want to ensure that they get at least six hours of sunlight a day.
5.Monitor your seed for any growth. The onion seed should germinate in 7 to 10 days. If the seed is cold, it may take longer to germinate. Ensure that your seed is in a warm spot to encourage quicker germination.
