Notes
'Intermediate Day' onion (Allium cepa 'Intermediate Day') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. 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. Its arching growth is fragrant. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Marketmore 76 cucumber, Ghost pepper, and Rozanne crane's-bill.
