| Care | They need a well drained soil, (doesn't have to be especially fertile). Their strappy foliage can look impressive as part of a mixed planting scheme, but they dislike being crowded. 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. |
