Notes

'Conservor' shallot (Allium cepa 'Conservor') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It blooms from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Pepperoncini pepper, Honeoye strawberry, and Ellagance Purple lavender.
