Leeks - American Flag Large

Product Info

Leeks are a good plant for home gardeners to grow. It is a cool season biennial that tastes like mild onions or scallions. Start these cold hardy plants in the garden early. Grow in a trench, mounding soil against the stems every 10-14 days to 'blanch' your crop. Harvest when stems reach 1 inch in diameter. Great in soups, casseroles, and stews.
