Notes

'Multiplier Onion' sets (Allium 'Multiplier Onion') are 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 or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms of this 121-day crop.

Pairs well with Supersweet 100 tomato, Poblano pepper, and Common comfrey.
