Notes

'Texas Early Grano Onion' onion (Allium cepa 'Texas Early Grano Onion') 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 average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The fragrant plants bring bees and butterflies to the garden.

Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and Kent Beauty oregano.
