Delivery Information View Product DescriptionSorry this item is unavailable, why not try these products insteadDescription How to Grow More Info DeliveryShallot Triple Pack (Spring Planting) provides a selection of high performing shallots including both red, round, and long varieties, meeting all of your kitchen needs. Shallot Triple Pack (Spring Planting) comprises 400g of each of the following varieties:
Shallot 'Jermor' - from French production of Jersey 'half long' types with long, rather than rounded bulbs that are often referred to as 'banana' shallots. The shiny copper-skinned bulbs with crisp, pink-tinged flesh make this a favourite with exhibitors. This RHS AGM variety is equally popular in the kitchen for its superb, sweet taste. Good storage potential. Height: 35cm (14"). Spread: 15cm (6").
Shallot 'Golden Gourmet' - a major advance on the traditional variety 'Giant Yellow'. RHS AGM variety Shallot 'Golden Gourmet' produces larger and better quality bulbs with reduced bolting incidence. The lovely golden brown skinned bulbs store well throughout the winter. Pack size: Height 35cm (14"). Spread: 15cm (6").
Shallot 'Red Sun' - arguably the best of the red shallots. Producing good yields of crisp, white fleshed bulbs of excellent flavour for cooking, salads or for pickling. Bulbs have long storage potential. Height: 35cm (14"). Spread: 15cm

Plant shallots in rows in any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting shallots on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing shallots in raised beds. When growing shallots from sets, plant the bulbs so that the tip of bulb is just protruding through the soil surface. Leave a space of 18cm (7") between each bulb, and 30cm (12") between each row.Shallots are undemanding and require only occasional watering during particularly dry periods. However, rows should be weeded regularly. Harvest in summer, a week or two after the leaves begin to turn yellow. Choose a dry day to loosen them from the ground with a fork. Leave them in their clumps on the soil surface for a day or two until they have fully dried in the sun. Once dry, remove the top foliage and store them in a well ventilated, dry position. There is no need to break rings of shallots apart until you need to use them. Shallots store exceptionally well and can often be stored in good condition for 6 months or more.Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above.
