Organic Shallot Plants & Sets

🌱 Certified Organic Conservor Shallot Plants

Our organic Conservor Shallot Plants are greenhouse-grown on small family farms in Wisconsin. These live seedlings arrive in soil-filled containers, partially hardened off.

  • Growth: Conservor shallot plants grow into a single, elongated red-copper bulb, ideal for long-term storage.
  • Shipping: Begins April 1st.

⚠️ Special Care: These shallot plants are a favorite among gardeners and farmers for their abundant, high-quality harvests. They’re more delicate than sets and need a little extra attention when they first arrive. Because shipping can be stressful, monitor tracking, unpack immediately, give a light watering, and begin hardening them off slowly for the best planting success. Although they arrive pre-hardened, easing them back into outdoor conditions with a gentle, gradual re-hardening process ensures strong, healthy growth. If you have any issues, contact us right away—we’re here to help. With proper early care, you’ll be rewarded with exceptional shallots.

✅ Organic Red & Yellow Shallot Sets

Certified Organic Shallot Sets are small bulbs that can be planted in fall or spring for a summer harvest. Each bulb produces clusters of 2–5 smaller shallots.

  • Growth: Produces dividing shallots with excellent storage capability.
  • Shipping: Begins Late February.

❔Shallot Plants vs Shallot Sets

Choosing between organic shallot plants and shallot sets depends on planting timing, harvest goals, and the level of care you prefer. Our organic shallot plants are live seedlings that ship after April 1, producing larger, uniform bulbs. While vigorous growers, as seedlings, they are more tender and sensitive, requiring gentle handling and extra attention. Shallot sets are small dormant bulbs, available as early as late February, and are hardier and easier to plant.
