French Echalion is a long, elegant shallot-style onion with smooth coppery skins and sweet, mild flesh. Also known as a banana shallot, it is prized by cooks for its refined flavour, easy slicing, and excellent use in sauces, roasting, salads, and everyday cooking. The elongated bulbs are attractive, versatile, and store well after curing, making this a rewarding variety for home gardeners who want something a little more gourmet than a standard onion.

Growing Information
How to Sow
Plant bulbs in a sunny, well-drained spot with loose, fertile soil. Place each bulb with the pointed end facing up, setting it 2–3 cm deep with the tip just showing above the surface. Space bulbs 10–15 cm apart in rows 25–30 cm apart. Keep the soil evenly moist while roots establish, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Harvest once the tops yellow and begin to fall over, then cure the bulbs in a dry, airy place before storing.
