Leek 'Chef's White

  • Product number: 219900
  • Origin: Europe
  • Latin: Allium porrum

A special leek due to its incredible growth vigour! The shaft can grow up to 38 cm long and 5 cm in diameter! Due to its exuberant energy (provided with sufficient nutrients and moisture, of course), there is no need to sow this early-harvesting leek extremely early (though you can do so for an even earlier harvest). Just wait until spring, perhaps even sow them in rows at their final location, and you can harvest delicious leeks from mid-summer into autumn!

Denominations:
Latin: Allium porrum
