Keep onion, leek, or shallot seedlings well identified, as their young foliage looks similar. Sufficient light and regular moisture accompany the growth of seedlings. Transplant delicately when the type of cultivation requires it, without crushing the base of the leaves. In the garden, prepare an easy-to-weed surface: these narrow plants cover little of the ground at the beginning of their development. To establish this variety, first choose a location corresponding to its exposure: sun. They need rich and fertile soil (mineral or organic soil).

Start observing the harvest of this variety as it approaches 90 days after sowing; then check the desired color, firmness, and size for picking. Harvest the echalions when the leaves fall, turn brown, and dry out. Drying can be accelerated by folding back a few leaves. Once harvested, place them in a dry, warm, and well-ventilated area. They can be stored in a cool, dry room. When planting this variety, the spacing to remember is 38 cm between plants. The spacing between rows is 35 cm to 38 cm.
