Description
Allium ampeloprasm
Enormous Scottish heirloom—cold-hardy & easy to grow!
This 1800s Scottish heirloom grows large, stocky but tender 2-3” wide shanks that can extend 9-12” long, on sturdy fan-shaped plants with blue-green leaves. Exceptionally cold-hardy variety. Mound up the soil around your leeks during the growing season for longer, more tender shanks.
Seeds grown by Drunken Sailor Farm in Boise, Idaho.
175 seeds.
Directions: Start indoors in flats/pots in late winter. Cut 2" from edible tops when 6" tall to thicken leaves. Transplant outdoors in spring with 12" spacing. Or, direct seed in early spring.
