Resulting from patient selection work undertaken in Quebec, it produces beautiful rounded bulbs with delicate, exceptionally sweet, and very pleasant flesh for cooking. Grown as an annual, this biennial shallot seduces with its regular growth, beautiful uniformity, and ability to perform well in fertile and well-prepared soil. Its upright foliage elegantly accompanies the season, while the bulbs grow consistently when watering remains balanced.
