How to Grow Large Sweet Onions. Lots of water is the key to success in growing large onions. To grow large onion bulbs, choose the right onion seed for your area and plant it at the proper time. Along the Pacific Coast, seeds should be planted in January or February to harvest in fall or in October to harvest in spring.
Plant the onions in the soil differently, depending if you are using seeds, seedlings or sets. 1  If you are growing sweet onions from seeds, plant each seed 3/8 of an inch (1 cm) deep and 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) apart.2  When you plant rows, make sure they are 15 inches (38 cm) apart. Rows should remain separated by 15 inches (38 cm). 2  If you are planting sweet onions from sets, plant them 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart, and rows at 15 inches (38 cm) apart. 3  Plant them shallowly, with the roots into the ground, and the bulb only about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) into the ground.
