Notes

'Zebrune Shallot Onion' (Allium cepa 'Zebrune Shallot Onion') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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 sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms in summer.

Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and Berggarten sage.
