This collection contains 3 of our best performing spring planting alliums which will give bumper yields in the summer. These varieties are perfect for spring planting- we have tried and tested them and know that they perform well. We choose only the finest quality bulbs that are fully checked and certified as disease and virus free. All can be planted from February (weather permitting) and into the spring.
The collection consists of 1 pack each of:
Shallot Melkior - First introduced in 2012, this variety is a genuine innovation to the shallot range in that it was the first shallot to be resistant to mildew – just perfect for our DTB range! A slightly elongated, Jersey type, it is firm with a dark copper skin and a crisp pinkish flesh and has a wonderful flavour. With a superb storage ability, Melkior will keep until April or even May.
Garlic Flavor (softneck) - Originating in the fields of Northern Italy, this variety is now extensively cultivated in France the ‘home’ of garlic. This superb softneck variety is perfect for the UK climate and grows well from a spring planting. The plump bulbs have a strong, white skin with juicy purple coloured cloves.
Onion Stuttgarter Giant - Well known and reliable, Stuttgarter Giant gives an excellent crop of flat onions which store very well. Plant early- great value for money!
