Notes
'Bianca Di Maggio' onion (Allium cepa 'Bianca Di Maggio') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The onions reach maturity in 80 days.
Pairs well with Poblano pepper, Red Sails lettuce, and Woodland strawberry.
