Notes
'White Spear' onion (Allium fistulosum 'White Spear') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. These large bunching onions stand up well to heat. Bees visit the blooms in spring and summer.
