Notes
'Unzen Early Flat Onion' (Allium cepa 'Unzen Early Flat Onion') 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 average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall and draw bees and butterflies.
Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and French lavender.
