Aftercare
Plant each shallot set with the tip just above the soil surface. Keep the growing area free from weeds and water during prolonged dry periods to encourage healthy growth. Harvest when the foliage naturally yellows and dies back. Allow the bulbs to dry thoroughly in a warm, airy place before storing in a cool, dry location for long-lasting use.
