Notes
'Patterson' onion (Allium cepa 'Patterson') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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. It takes 104 days to mature and has fragrant, arching growth.
Pairs well with Poblano pepper, Thyme, and Salad burnet.
