Hey everyone,
I am facing an issue with an onion plant which has grown 5 foot tall. I bought a variety
of vegetable seeds and all are a success but my onion plant is having purple blotch.
I am unable to figure out how to treat it.
Please help me with your solutions and also what method would be effective at this point to protect my plant.

Can you show us a picture? Also, what part of the world are you gardening in? Sometimes a treatment is different in differing climates.

I like Joylynn's suggestion.

Purple blotch sounds like something fungal so the recipes in this thread may help:
