Notes

'Frontier' onion (Allium 'Frontier') 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. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Oregano, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, and Lemon balm.
