Notes
'Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion' (Allium cepa 'Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion') is a vegetable grown for the food garden, borders, and containers. 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 sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms, and the plant has a fragrant scent.
Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and Creeping thyme.
