Cold weather deepens the red color. Mulch if hard frost is expected. Avoid planting in freshly manured ground as the free nitrogen can be harmful. When seedlings are 12-14 inches tall, dig an 8-inch deep furrow in an east-to-west direction and transplant, mounding the soil around the seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulch around the base of green stems (every 40-50 days) to expand the white\/purple area. Irrigate weekly or more frequently if the soil dries. Immature bunching onions are prone to crowding out; pull any weeds quickly. Fertilize if required. As harvest time nears, the foliage will turn yellow or brown and fall. At the first sign of yellowing, decrease the quantity of water gradually until full maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Red Beard Bunching Onion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBunching Onions can be harvested at any stage, from microgreen to full maturity.
