A remarkable new introduction and a significant improvement in late leeks. The shank is significantly longer, being twice the height of some other varieties! An excellent cropper with good winter hardiness which makes a delicious cooked vegetable on its own or in soups, stews and casseroles.
Sowing Instructions. Leeks prefer ordinary well drained soil in sun or semi-shade and can follow early peas or potatoes. Sow in early spring outdoors in a well prepared seed bed. Sow thinly 1cm (½in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart.
Growing Instructions. In early summer lift the seedlings carefully and plant 15x38cm (6x15in) apart, making 15cm (6in) deep holes and inserting seedlings as far as the first leaf. Then fill the hole with water NOT SOIL.
Aftercare Instructions. Earth up the stems as growth develops and harvest in late autumn and through the winter.
