Leek 'Saint Victor' / 'Bleu de Solaise'

  • Product number: 222500
  • Origin: Europe
  • Latin: Allium porrum

‘St. Victor’ is an (also old) selection from the ancient “Bleu de Solaise”; the taste and resistance to cold are excellent in both varieties: more refined and softer than "ordinary" leeks. If you appreciate beautiful vegetables, you will certainly notice the matte steel-blue to violet color of these old varieties.
