Growing Tips for Sunshine Coast Gardens Brown onions grow best during the cooler months on the Sunshine Coast (autumn through winter). Plant in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 10–15 cm apart in rows. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. They require consistent growth without stress for large bulbs. In subtropical Queensland, planting from seedlings gives a head start and better results than seeds. Stop watering when the tops start to yellow and fall over to encourage bulb curing.
