'Barolo' onion (Allium cepa 'Barolo') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. You can expect it to need 110 days to maturity.
Pairs well with Poblano pepper, Smoothie cucumber, and Fennel.
