Pinetree Garden Seeds Zebrune Shallot

Zebrune is a French variety, often called a banana shallot, that acts as a hybrid between an onion and a shallot. It gives you the refined, sweet flavor of a shallot but with the larger, elongated shape of an onion, making it much easier to peel and slice.

You can expect these shallots to be ready for harvest in about 100 days after planting. They are grown as an annual, so plan your garden timeline accordingly.

Not at all. One of the primary benefits of the Zebrune variety is its excellent long-term storage capability. Once properly cured, they hold up very well in a cool, dry place.

For the best results, plant them in a spot that receives full sun. They thrive in fertile, well-drained soil and require consistent moisture—aim for about one inch of water per week throughout the growing season.

Plant your seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch. Under the right conditions, with soil temperatures between 60-75ºF, you should see germination within 5 to 10 days.
