Notes
'Red Sensation' onion (Allium cepa 'Red Sensation') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It needs 145 days to reach maturity.
Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Diva cucumber, and Bosc pear.
