Scientific Name | Allium ampeloprasum |
Growing Days | 120-150…that’s 4-5 months! |
Varieties We Grow | American Flag |
Growing Notes | Leeks take a long time to grow; the seeds are super tiny so they are tricky to germinate outside without getting washed away. Be patient with leeks! |
Battle of the Bugs | There’s a leek moth, but I’ve not seen one yet (maybe because our leeks have failed miserably so far). |
Fun Fact | If you cut a leek and leave the roots/stem, plant it and it might re-grow for you! |
Don’t Waste It! | Enjoy leeks as you would the other alliums. |
