Notes
'Red Onion' sets (Allium 'Red Onion') are a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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 or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. The crop takes 121 days to mature. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Celebrity Plus tomato, Broccoli, Salad burnet, and Oregano.
