Heritage variety producing elongated bulbs with white flesh. Has a mild sweet flavour and is perfect for any recipe where shallots are called for.

Sow thinly outdoors from February to May in rows 30cm apart. Shallots grow in clusters of several bulbs per station which will push each other apart as they grow. Keep weed free and water only during dry weather. Harvest July-August after the leaves have turned yellow.
