Description

You’ll love this visually stunning shallot - the darkest red-skinned variety available from seed. Shallots have become increasingly popular for their culinary uses as they have such a distinctive flavour, offering an interesting alternative to onions. Each seed produces an individual small, whitefleshed bulb which stores extremely well for use throughout late autumn and winter.

Sowing Instructions

Sow thinly, ideally in broad drills similarly to spring onions, 13mm (1/2in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart.

Growing Instructions

Thin seedlings if necessary, larger bulbs will form if given 4cm (1 ½ in) spacings.
