Notes
'White Ace' onion (Allium cepa 'White Ace') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, 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. Its arching leaves are fragrant, and it bears pink or white blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Sweet Success cucumber, Ellagance Purple lavender, and Snowcap Shasta daisy.
