Leek Bandit – Grow For It Seeds

Description

Allium porrum

Bring robust winter harvests to your vegetable patch with Leek Bandit seeds, a coldhardy, openpollinated leek variety prized for its thick, upright shanks and rich, sweet flavour that improves after frost. Bandit produces attractive bluegreen leaves and strong stems with minimal bulbing, making cleaning and preparation easier in the kitchen. This variety thrives as a coolseason crop, tolerating cold climates and extending your harvest well into late fall and winter. Easy to grow whether started indoors or transplanted, these leeks are perfect for soups, braises, and fresh autumn and winter dishes.
