shallots from seed

Unlike shallots grown from sets, seed grown plants will not divide and multiply, so you only get one shallot per seed.

Planted out as a plug, you will get 3-4 slender bulbs, planted singly you will get a slightly fatter bulb - that's up to you

 

Hi all
Try planting zebrune shallot seed next year plant one seed per module . I use a forty cell module which sits
in a standard seed tray. You will get one large shallot from each seed , i use them as onions if i want a mild
taste , if you have a green house you can start them off early in the year. Plant out when weather permits you
can grow them quite large before you plant them out.
