Notes
'Scallion' green onion (Allium fistulosum 'Scallion') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and low maintenance planting. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Bees visit its blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Bok choy, Everbearing strawberry, Bull's Blood beet, and Lovage.
