Our wonderful selection of Nurseryman’s Choice Shallots includes four of our most popular varieties that boast exceptional flavour, great quality and perfect form. Ready to harvest from June until August, this superb mix grows quickly in direct sunlight and sits well in kitchen gardens and allotment areas. Ideal for incorporating into stews, salads and curries, this collection does not disappoint on versatility! Get your shallots in the ground now and they’ll provide an early harvest next summer of sweet, tender bulbs perfect for stews, stir-fries and curries. 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.
