Yellow Overwintering Shallots 'Shakespeare'

Early planted means early harvestable, yet despite the early harvest this variety stores well. The shallots are very cold-resistant, they can be planted from September to May, but planting in the autumn or early winter only gives the desired early harvest. On wet clay we advise making raised beds for natural drainage. Plant them at 20 cm apart and they are harvestable from the spring (as a young, white shallot) or from May to September in brown skin. The result is a mild-tasting shallot, which can be stored from autumn through the winter.
