Sea onion - Seeds

Drimia maritima, commonly known as sea onion, is a bulbous plant native to the Mediterranean region. In nature it is associated with coastal areas and well-drained soils, following a seasonal growth cycle.

Its large bulb and flowering habit make it interesting for Mediterranean bulb collections. It should be grown with care and treated primarily as an ornamental plant, without assuming uses not provided by the source description.

How to sow sea onion seeds

Sow the seeds in a mineral, airy and very well-drained medium, covering them only lightly. Maintain moderate moisture during germination and keep the container in a bright position.

Once established, young plants should grow without waterlogging and with enough room to develop their bulbs. Transplant carefully when large enough, avoiding damage to the roots and developing bulb.
