Notes
'Yellow Valencia' onion (Allium cepa 'Yellow Valencia') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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 average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The plant has an arching habit and blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Straight-8 cucumber, Woodland strawberry, and Meadow sage.
