High yields: Abundant crops of red shallots in summer
Culinary versatility: Ideal for cooking, salads, and pickling

Enjoy the benefits of growing Red Sun shallots; one of the finest red-skinned varieties for home cultivation. These shallots yield plentiful crops of crisp, red-fleshed bulbs with an exceptional flavour, making them perfect for a variety of culinary uses.
They store exceptionally well: for best results, consider plaiting surplus shallots and hanging them in a cool, dry location, such as a shed, to prolong their shelf life.
Plant Red Sun shallots in free-draining to medium-heavy soils, ideally in March or April. The warming spring soil conditions promote optimal growth for these bulbs, ensuring you get a great harvest.
