Gourmet Garlic, Onion and Shallot Collection brings together three exceptional autumn planting varieties selected for gardeners who value outstanding flavour, reliable performance and premium home-grown ingredients. Carefully chosen to complement one another, this collection delivers a rewarding harvest of onions, shallots and garlic that will enhance your cooking from summer through to winter storage.
The collection includes:
• Akado Onion Sets – A mid-early overwintering variety bred as an improvement on 'Electric', selected for stronger roots, improved disease tolerance and dependable yields. Produces attractive red-skinned bulbs with a naturally sweet flavour, excellent storage qualities and reliable performance in UK growing conditions.
• Shallot Jermor Bulbs – Widely regarded as one of the finest shallots for flavour, this traditional French longue type produces copper-skinned bulbs with crisp pink-tinged flesh. Sweet, mild and versatile, it is highly valued for sauces, dressings, salads and a wide range of culinary uses, while also storing exceptionally well after harvest.
• Garlic Czechmate Bulbs (Hardneck) – An exclusive Moravian hardneck garlic developed and trialled for exceptional garden performance and bold flavour. Producing attractive purple-striped bulbs packed with large cloves, it offers a hot, spicy character that is ideal for Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes.
Plant in autumn in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. The onions, shallots and garlic establish quickly before winter, developing strong root systems ready for vigorous spring growth. Harvest garlic from June onwards and lift onions and shallots once foliage naturally dies back. Allow bulbs to dry thoroughly before storing to maximise flavour, quality and keeping potential.
Combining sweetness, depth of flavour and culinary versatility, this collection is perfect for gardeners who enjoy growing premium ingredients and bringing exceptional home-grown produce from garden to plate.
Supplied as 1 pack of each variety.
