The Other Onions | Horticulture and Home Pest News
Shallots (Allium cepa aggregatum) are another edible onion that produce 1inchdiameter bulbs. Because the bulbs are so small, shallots are grown primarily for the delicate flavor of the green tops. Shallot sets can be planted in spring and the green tops can be harvested any time after reaching 6 to 8 inches tall.
