Notes
'Marksman' onion (Allium cepa 'Marksman') 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. You can harvest it about 50 days after planting.
Pairs well with Margarita cucumber, Ellagance Purple lavender, and Bartlett pear.
