At the Jardins de l'écoumène, the harvest of this unique onion is done in September. The bulbs which will garnish the table during the winter are then stored in a cool and dry place; Well-stored bulbs are planted as soon as the soil is worked in spring.
Planting depth varies between 2,5 and 5 cm. Space the bulbs 20 to 25 cm apart in the row to give them enough room to multiply and grow.
This early selection is also distinguished by its large insect resistance.
