Notes
'Ramrod' onion (Allium 'Ramrod') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, borders, and pollinator gardens. 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. Give it full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant plants attract bees and butterflies, and they mature in 65 days.
Pairs well with Lettuce, Supersweet 100 tomato, PowWow Wild Berry coneflower, and Salad burnet.
