Shallot Plant Changes 2025

CERTIFIED ORGANIC CONSERVOR SHALLOT PLANTS – Greenhouse-grown Organic Conservor Shallot Plants are greenhouse-grown on small, family farms in Wisconsin. These live seedlings arrive in a container with soil, hardened off, and ready to plant. Conservor Shallots don’t typically divide. However, they grow into a single, elongated red-copper long-storing bulb.  Ships in April Only!

Organic Red Shallot Sets

Organic Red Shallot Sets

CERTIFIED ORGANIC SHALLOT SETS – Shallot sets are bulbs that are planted into your garden in the fall or spring for a summer harvest. These dividing shallots produce clusters of shallots that have great storage capabilities. Shipping Begins Early March!

Keene Garlic’s Certified Organic Shallots are easy to grow! Our Certified Organic Shallot Plants & Shallot Sets are ready to plant, resulting in a more successful and quicker harvest than growing by seed.

WHY GROW SHALLOTS?

  •  Shallots have a wonderful onion/garlic flavor that brings the perfect gourmet taste to your kitchen. Sauté garlic, onions & shallots together for a phenomenal base to many dishes! Mince finely to make a lovely homemade vinaigrette or grate directly onto salads for that subtle onion flavor that does not overwhelm.

EASY TO GROW!

    • Plant in the fall or the spring similar to garlic.
    • Our Conservor Plants produce a single elongated bulb from each plant that are easy to peel with interior rings.
    • Our Shallot Sets are clusters that are divided apart and then planted individually.  Each bulb creates a cluster of 2-5 shallots at harvest. Plant each bulb 4-6 inches apart with pointy side up and root side down into fertilized soil. Apply mulch and then water.  About 100 days to harvest.

*It is the purchaser’s responsibility to assure items selected will grow in their USDA hardiness zone and to choose appropriate ship dates.

Local Extension offices are great resources for gardening information specific to each region and are highly recommended.
