Notes
'Eclipse' onion (Allium cepa 'Eclipse') 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 sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It matures in 60 days.
Pairs well with Ancho pepper, Salad burnet, and Suyo Long cucumber.
