SHIPPING STARTS IN EARLY OCTOBER

Bring authentic French flavor to your kitchen garden with our Heirloom Shallot Sampler. This collection includes three prized French varieties—Nero, Monque, and Roderique—each with its own unique character. You’ll receive 20 bulbs of each variety (60 bulbs total), giving you plenty to grow for yourself and share with friends. A triple sampler is as described, 60 bulbs of each. 

Shallots are a staple of French cooking, valued for their delicate sweetness and rich depth of flavor. These heirloom varieties have been cherished for generations, offering superior taste and garden performance compared to common store-bought types.

Planting is flexible—shallots can be grown in both spring and fall, depending on your climate. Fall plantings yield earlier harvests, while spring plantings are great for areas with harsher winters. Plant them in well-drained soil with full sun, and they’ll reward you with clusters of flavorful bulbs perfect for sauces, roasts, and fresh cooking.
