WEST COAST SEEDS ONION ZEBUNE

  • This well known French heirloom shallot is sometimes referred to as an eschalion, or banana shallot.
  • The eschalion combines the ease and texture of an onion with the delicate gourmet flavour of a shallot.
  • The long lasting bulbs have pinkish brown skins over crisp white interiors.
  • The flesh is sweet and mild for gourmet cooking.
  • The sweetness improves in storage, so they keep getting better.

  • Matures in 100 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

    Growing Onions From Seed

  • Start shallots and storage onions indoors in late winter and early spring, and transplant 2-4 weeks after the last frost date.
  • Grow seedlings on for 6-8 weeks at around 10°C (50°F).
  • Overwintering onions need to be started in early summer, and transplanted by the middle of August.
  • Scallions can be direct sown every 3 weeks from two weeks after the last frost date to late summer
  • Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-25°C (70-75°F). Seeds will emerge in 6-12 days, depending on conditions.

    Companion Planting For Onions

  • The pungent odour of onions repels many pests and also protects nearby garden vegetables. Plant chamomile and summer savory near onions to improve their flavour. Onions also work well alongside beets, Brassicas, carrots, dill, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, strawberries and tomatoes.
  • Don't plant onions near asparagus, or peas of any kind.
