Notes
'Eiffel' onion (Allium 'Eiffel') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms.
Pairs well with Oregano, Mountain Magic tomato, and Salad burnet.
