Shallot Seeds: Ambition

Catalogue Code 1020-2836

Growing shallots from seed is very simple, each seed produces a single shallot.

They tend to be larger than those grown from sets making them an excellent candidate for the showbench.

These seeds love a rich, moist, well drained soil in full sun. Ambition produces shallots with perfect shape for exhibition.

They are ready to harvest from August onwards once the tops have died back, allow to dry thoroughly.

I grew these in a shallow tub on my allotment last year as we are full of onion rot. You dont get that many seeds but good germination and if you water every day, you can grow then crowded. Nice big shallots and very good keepers - rock hard even now the following April. Doing the same again this year, highly recommended.

Perfect shape for exhibition.

Sow Outdoors: March-May, thinly, direct into the required harvest position, ½in(1cm) deep, 3in (7.5cm) apart in rows 12in (30cm) apart. Keep soil moist at all times.

Grow On: If necessary thin seedlings to 3in (7.5cm) apart.

Harvest: August-September once the tops have died back.
