     are you near Baboquivari Peak Wilderness in AZ?   
      
     they can survive that.   
      
     the multiplier onions i have growing now didn't   
   have any problems with our severe winter here last   
   year so i would guess it will survive about anything.   
      
     just make sure they are not planted in a poorly   
   drained area so they're not sitting in a puddle all   
   winter.

     it is a multiplier onion, so like a shallot or potato onion.   
   of the variety Aggregatum group.  so if you can look up the   
   nutrition of the shallots or potato onions this one should   
   be close to those.
