How do you grow French red shallots?

Plant Shallots 1” deep, 4-6” apart in 18” spaced rows roots side down, just deep enough so that the tip lies level with the soil surface. Shallots will form a cluster of 5-12 bulbs around the original bulb. This cluster will spread out more than a Garlic bulb and therefore requires more space between plants.

What is red shallot?

Red Shallots (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) are a smaller type of onion with a red pink colour. Their mild subtle onion flavour compliments rather than overwhelms a dish. Shallots are great for making your own pickled onions and a range of sauces and can be used in place of normal onions for a milder taste.

Are Dutch red shallots true shallots?

Dutch red shallots fall somewhere between onions and garlic in both texture and flavor, with a touch of that pungent shallot flavor. Easier to peel and larger than French Grey, Dutch Red is not a “true” shallot- but its close enough!

Which shallots are best?

Shallot varieties to grow

• ‘Golden Gourmet’ – a heavy cropper with good flavour. It keeps well.
• ‘Red Gourmet’ – early maturing with red flesh. The spicy taste is great in salads and cooking.
• ‘Red Sun’ – good yields of large, red-tinged bulbs with crisp, spicy, white flesh. Stores well. Plant in spring.

When is the best time to plant Dutch Red shallots?

Unlike French Grey Shallots, Dutch Red can be planted in the fall or early spring. They are storage champs and will typically last for a year or more. A pound of this variety will give you 40-50 plantable cloves of shallots, enough to plant a 25-foot row or 10 feet of a 3-foot-wide garden bed.

When do French shallot bulbs go on sale?

Shallot bulbs are shipped only in the fall—September through mid-October, depending on the season and the variety.

Quantities are limited; order early for best availability.
