Title: Desperately Seeking Shallots
Post by: Lauren S on January 16, 2009, 16:07:24
Hello, Thanks for reading this.
I'm desperately seeking shallot seeds.
In particular....Sutton's Zebrune Banana Shallots. I have searched 4 garden centers, 2 DIY stores and Sutton's online but I cannot find any seed.

I don't suppose anyone has part of a seed packet they would be willing to swap.

Many thanks

Lauren  :)

I haven't got the Suttons variety you are looking for Lauren, but I have a packet of seeds I bought from Seeds of Italy 'Long Red Onion of Florence'.  It's a sweet Tuscan onion.  Ideal raw.  I've yet to try them, but they look like banana shallots.  If you would like to try them I can let you have some seed.
