Allium cepa
Un Allium bienal cultivado como anual por su bulbo. Sensible a la duración del día: los jardines del norte necesitan cultivares de día largo; los del sur necesitan cultivares de día corto; los cultivares de día intermedio son adecuados para las zonas 6-7. Se planta en primavera (bulbillos) o en otoño (para invernar); se cosecha en verano cuando las hojas se doblan. Comestible como verdura de hoja en cualquier etapa (cebollas de cambray / cebolletas).
