Notes
Crème Brûlée shallot (Allium cepa Crème Brûlée) is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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 dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. This hybrid shallot is a standout in the kitchen.
Pairs well with Poblano pepper, Cucumber, and Fennel.
