Notes
'Calibra' onion (Allium cepa 'Calibra') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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 needs 110 days to reach maturity. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Super Chili pepper, Smoothie cucumber, and Ellagance Purple lavender.
