Sale price$3.75

A tough, hardy French heirloom that grows vigorously even in very cold climates. The tender creamy-white stems can grow to 5 cm in diameter and 20 cm high, so plenty of produce to work with in the kitchen. The blue-green leaves are attractive and quite tender so can also be used for flavour or garnish in soups, salads, stews. 150 seeds.

Size: 1 pkt
Sowing Instructions

Sow direct to garden or sow in trays to transplant later once they have reached 7-10cm high (as leek is slow growing this can be a good option so you can utilise the space). Cover seeds thinly and keep moist. Rotate within vegetable beds every year.
