100 days from setting out transplants. Once you've tasted a shallot fresh from the soil of your own backyard, you'll never go back to those overpriced supermarket varieties!.Zebrune is a classic French shallot, an heirloom that continues to delight as new varieties come and go. It's pinkish-brown with a mild, sweet flavor, it stores well, and it is destined to become your favorite new veggie in the garden..Zebrune is a highly productive plant, reaching 12 to 24 inches high and about 4 to 8 inches wide. (Space transplants about 6 inches apart in the garden.).Zebrune should be started indoors in short-season climates, or if you want the earliest possible crop of shallots. Sow the seeds 4 to 6 weeks before the last scheduled frost in your area..Germination takes anywhere from 4 to 10 days, and is very dependable. (Onions -- can't go wrong!) Transplant the seedlings as soon as the soil is workable in spring.
