Dear Team
Just a quick line to thank you for the impressive service provided by your company. Delivery was prompt, goods not damaged (rare these days!), beautiful Roses and complete package/wrapping even better than I could possibly have imagined. People are so quick to complain these days but here is a compliment for a change. I will certainly be recommending your nursery & appreciate the effort taken.

Shallot Set 'Golden Gourmet'
Allium cepa (Aggregatum Group) 'Golden Gourmet'
- Large yellow-skinned bulbs have a mild flavour, making them ideal for salads.
- Reliable and heavy yielding.
- Excellent resistance to bolting.
Supplied as approximately 500g of shallot sets.
SOLD OUT UNTIL 20211 or more £4.95GBP each. Group & quantity discounts
A Dutch yellow variety of shallot that produces large bulbs with a lovely golden brown skin.
Whilst their flavour is mild enough for them to be used raw in salads, they are also wonderful in cooking - and of course pickling!
With its excellent resistance to bolting and good keeping qualities this heavy-yielding variety really is hard to beat.
- Set out 6-8" (15-20 cm) apart in rows 8" (20 cm).
- Take out a drill approximately 1" (2.5 cm) deep and push into the bottom of the drill (pointed side up) before covering with soil, leaving the tops just showing.
- Alternatively, take out shallow holes with a dibber and pop in - again leaving the tops just showing.
- Top Tips
- Recently planted sets may need to be protected with netting or similar to prevent birds pulling them out of the soil.
- Keep weed-free at all times.
- Avoid over-watering, but water thoroughly in warm dry spells.
