Notes
'Parade' onion (Allium cepa 'Parade') 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 usually look elsewhere for a meal. Parade matures in 65 days and has a fragrant, arching habit.
Pairs well with Jimmy Nardello pepper, Celeriac, Salad burnet, and Rozanne crane's-bill.
