Notes
'Red Carpet' onion (Allium cepa 'Red Carpet') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It needs 115 days to maturity. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Straight-8 cucumber, Berggarten sage, and Woodland strawberry.
