Notes

'Vidora' onion (Allium cepa 'Vidora') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plan on 130 days to maturity.

Pairs well with Ancho pepper, Suyo Long cucumber, and Salad burnet.
