AspectOnions prefer an open, sunny site, but tolerate partial shade. Autumn planted onions must have full sun and good drainage.

Roots are very shallow so you should careful remove weeds by hand. Growing near carrots can reduce the risk of onion fly. Frost tolerant crop.

-can grow at the front of a mixed bed/border
-can be grown in pots as part of a patio kitchen.
DescriptionOnions are full of flavour and widely used in many cuisines. They are undemanding and easy to grow, and can be grown in a vegetable garden, pots and conatiners or as part of a mixed bed/border.
