July 23, 2024Henrys Flower Shallots are a type of shallot that produces beautiful flowers, which can be harvested and used in cooking. Heres a description on growing these unique shallots:
Planting: Henrys Flower Shallots can be planted in the fall or early spring, about 6-8 weeks before the first frost. Plant them amongst garlic for a natural companion planting.
Care: Shallots require minimal care. They need about 1 inch of water each week, and a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer product in the early spring. Make sure to cut off flower stalks to direct the growing energy to the bulbs.
Harvest: Most shallots are harvested in their first growing season before they flower and set seed. Cut off the leaves, as they provide energy to the bulb. You can also save the bulbils (miniature shallots) that form at the top of the flowerhead and plant them out in trays to sprout.
Tips: Henrys Flower Shallots are relatively easy to grow and can be harvested in 100-120 days on average. They are smaller than garlic bulbs and have a mild onion flavor.
