Notes

'Calibra' onion (Allium 'Calibra') 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 or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant flowers.

Pairs well with Celebrity Plus tomato, Sage, and Salad burnet.
