Long, Sweet Shallots – Up to 9 Per Set Long, sweet-flavoured French shallots Produces up to nine shallots from each set Great for autumn planting and overwintering Good yields and storage qualities RHS Award of Garden Merit ‘Longor’ is a distinctive French long shallot, producing exceptionally long, slender bulbs with copper-coloured skins and attractive pink flesh. Their sweet, full flavour is excellent roasted, caramelised or finely sliced, while the long, uniform shape makes the bulbs particularly easy to peel and prepare. Each planted set multiplies underground as it grows, potentially producing a cluster of up to nine new shallots. Autumn planting gives the sets time to establish before winter, ready to put on strong leafy growth as conditions improve in spring and develop a generous crop for harvesting in summer. Once lifted and thoroughly dried, ‘Longor’ has good keeping qualities, so you can enjoy your homegrown crop after harvest. It also holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, making it a proven choice for gardeners looking for a productive, distinctive long shallot.
