Shallots can be used in a variety of dishes, they are really delicious when they’re put whole into a casserole in the winter months. Growing from seed allows each seed to become a shallot therefore there is no need to break up at harvest time. Matador F1 Shallots give a very high yield of globe shaped bulbs with a deep red colour.

Useful Information

Sowing & Growing

Sow February to April, early sowing can be made under glass in modules, sow 1-2 seeds per module on the surface of seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling or vermiculite or compost, and place at a temperature of 14°C.

Outdoor sowings can be made in April, sow seed thinly in shallow drills 1.5cm deep, with rows spaced 30cm apart.

Greenhouse sown modules can be moved to a cold frame in April to harden off before planting outside 5cm apart. Outdoor sowings can be thinned to the same distance as above. Thinnings can be eaten as spring onions. Feed as soon as the bulbs start to swell after the longest day with a high nitrogen feed, followed by another feed 5 weeks later.

Look to harvest between September to October.
