Shallot 'Ramrod'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Ramrod is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Ramrod needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Sow 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 13°C / 55°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Ramrod about 28 days before your last frost date.

Ramrod is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
