Notes
'Australian Brown Onion' onion (Allium cepa 'Australian Brown Onion') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and Berggarten sage.
