Description
Allium cepa
An open-pollinated shallot that’s every bit as good as the hybrids!
Yippee! This variety was improved by iconic Idaho farmer Beth Rasgorshek to become a more reliable producer than the Dutch variety from whence it came. It’s incredibly long-keeping… keep it cool & dry in storage and you can enjoy its delicate, savory flavor all the way through the winter and through the following summer. Woohoo!
Seeds grown by Swift River Farm in Salmon, Idaho.
150 seeds
Directions: Start indoors in late winter, 10-12 weeks before last frost. Plant seeds ¼“ apart in a single pot. Trim tops to thicken the seedlings, and bury starts 1" deep when planting. Transplant out shortly after the soil can be worked.
