Description

Shallots Yellow Moon is a round, golden skinned shallot bred for resilience, with strong resistance to bolting and reported disease resistance, plus excellent skin quality for storage. It is marketed as a heavy cropping variety, which makes it a dependable choice for customers planting for a pantry supply rather than a small pick.

Planting window is spring in firm, well drained soil in full sun. Avoid freshly manured ground, and use raised beds if the site is wet. Keep weed free and water in prolonged dry periods, then reduce watering as bulbs mature. Harvest in mid to late summer when foliage yellows and falls, then dry and cure thoroughly before storing. Yellow Moon suits customers who want a mild flavour profile and long storage potential from a consistent, uniform bulb.
