Notes
'Yago' onion (Allium fistulosum 'Yago') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and low maintenance beds. 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 or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Bees visit its blue and green blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Basil, Ancho pepper, and Lovage.
