Planting and Growing Information

Plant Red Sun shallots in early spring (February to April) once soil becomes workable. Select a location with full sun exposure and well-drained, fertile soil. Plant bulbs 1-1.5 inches deep, pointed end up, spacing them 6-8 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart. Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Harvest typically occurs in August or September when foliage turns yellow. After harvesting, cure in a shaded, well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks before storage.
