Notes
'Maragogi' onion (Allium cepa 'Maragogi') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Plan on 145 days to maturity.
Pairs well with Poblano pepper, Diva cucumber, and Common comfrey.
