shallot 'Jermor'

shallot sets

Product Image
A highly-flavoured French ‘longue’ shallot from the Southern Rhone valley. Copper skinned bulbs reveal delicate tones of pinkish-white flesh when sliced. Packed with vitamin C and a healthy dose of A, B and D, ‘Jermor’ boasts a delightfully sweet taste. It's perfect for sauces, dressings and salads, and it stores well. Each pack will come with growing instructions.

How to care for shallot Jermor:

Plant shallot sets in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil from September to February, spacing them 15cm (6in) apart in rows 30cm (12in) apart, with just the tip of each set showing above the soil surface.

Avoid freshly manured ground, and for the healthiest crop, plant in a different area of the garden each year, avoiding sites where onions, garlic, leeks or other alliums have grown within the last 3-4 years.

Keep the area free of weeds and water during dry spells while the plants are actively growing, reducing watering as the bulbs begin to mature. Lift the shallots once the foliage turns yellow and starts to die back, then leave the bulbs to dry thoroughly in a warm, airy place before storing them in a cool, dry, frost-free location.
