Notes
'White Creole Onion' onion (Allium cepa 'White Creole 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. Its fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and Kent Beauty oregano.
