Notes
'Powell' onion (Allium cepa 'Powell') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing 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. Plan on 108 days to maturity.
Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Straight-8 cucumber, and Creeping thyme.
