Notes
'Sierra Blanca 103' onion (Allium cepa 'Sierra Blanca 103') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It takes 109 days to reach maturity, and the arching plants are fragrant.
Pairs well with Marketmore 76 cucumber, Ellagance Purple lavender, and Creeping thyme.
