Planting Onions, Shallots, & Garlic in Autumn

Autumn is the perfect time to plant onions, shallots, and garlic. The soil still holds the warmth of summer, and the long days offer ample light. This provides ideal conditions for bulbs to establish strong root systems before winter, giving them a headstart in the spring.

With their vigorous growth, autumn planting alliums can be harvested up to 4 weeks earlier than spring planting onions, shallots, and garlic. They also tend to produce larger, more flavourful bulbs.

Our autumn shallots, garlic, and onions are carefully chosen for their unbeatable taste and fantastic performance in British gardens. Choose from many popular varieties, such as the AGM-winning Jermor shallot to the ultra-hardy Radar onion.
