Shallot 'Picador F1'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Picador F1 is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. Picador F1 needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Aim to sow 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 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 Picador F1 about 28 days before your last frost date.

Picador F1 is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
