Description
The Shallot is a hardy, bulbous perennial that is closely related to onion and garlic. The Shallot leaves are short, small, cylindrical, and hollow. The flowers are lavender or red, in a compact umbel. The bulbs are small, elongated, and angular and develop in clusters on a common base, much like the garlic plant. Shallots are planted early in spring and grow in any good garden soil; the bulbs are harvested in the autumn. The so-called shallot that is marketed extensively as green spring onions is in fact a form of onion. Purplish colour, firm.Country of origin
