Notes
'New York Early' onion (Allium cepa 'New York Early') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. 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 sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. This classic yellow strain has fragrant, arching growth and yellow blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Thyme, Habanero habanero pepper, and Showy milkweed.
