Closely related to onions, shallots are easy to grow and have a distinctive flavour that's sweeter and milder than onions, making them more suitable for using in quiches and sauces. Shallots come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They grow best in a well-drained, fertile soil in full sun, and store well into autumn.

Allium cepa ‘Jermor’ is a 'half long' type, known as a banana shallot. It has shiny, coppery skin and crisp, sweet flesh that is tinged with pink. Each bulb should yield 6-8 shallots. It can be planted in autumn or spring, and stores well.
