It’s going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! “Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money.” The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park’s original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
The first ever shallot to win the AAS Winner designation. This Echallion Creme Brulee Hybrid Shallot is not only great tasting but it’s also beautiful.
The uniform, single-centered bulbs have pretty rosy-purple inner rings that are covered in an attractive iridescent peachy to coppery pink skin that’s easy to peel.
Also called “banana shallots,” the tender bulbs mature early and taste slightly citrusy and sweet, having a high sugar content perfect for caramelizing and enhancing its flavor. They have a long storage potential.
Echallion Creme Brulee Hybrid Shallot Seeds can also be started indoors and planted outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
If you plan to start your seeds indoors, be sure to check out our Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit. With the Bio Dome, you can control the temperature, light, and soil mix to ensure your seeds become strong for transplant.
