Notes
'Dash' onion (Allium cepa 'Dash') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. 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. Dash matures in 50 days and has arching, fragrant growth.
Pairs well with Margarita cucumber, Ellagance Purple lavender, and Clemson Spineless okra.
