98 days. 2021 AAS Winner! Echalion type; also known as Banana Shallot. Unexpectedly easy to grow and easy to peel! Single-centered 4 to 5" bulbs have an elongated shape, bright coppery pink outer skin and a pretty rosy-purple interior with thick rings. Sweet, tender bulbs are earlier to mature than comparable varieties. Flavor is slightly citrusy when raw; caramelized, the natural sugars are enhanced and do not leave any overpowering aftertaste. Excellent for farm or fresh market growers, as well as the home gardener. Plants grow 24-36" tall.
