Grow your own flavorful shallots. Easy to grow and very rewarding, shallots are a great addition to the vegetable garden, allotment or raised beds. Shallots produce clusters of bulbs with a deliciously sweet, mild onion flavor. Red Sun, Yellow Moon, Jermor, Biztro or Golden Gourmet are all available and each variety has its own color, flavor and growing qualities. Plant your shallot sets in fertile, free-draining soil in a sunny spot and space them out to allow ample room for the bulbs to develop.
Once established they are easy to grow and will provide you with a bumper summer harvest. Homegrown shallots are a kitchen garden favorite and well worth finding space for. Perfect for roasting, sauces, salads and everyday cooking.

Watering Keep the soil consistently moist while the crop is establishing and growing, especially during flowering, fruiting or rapid leafy growth. Water deeply at the base rather than little and often, allowing excess water to drain away. Plants in containers, grow bags or greenhouses may need daily checks during warm weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile loam, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
