How to Grow?

Planting Instructions

1. Select a sunny or partially shaded location: Leeks prefer a bright spot but can tolerate partial shade.
2. Prepare rich, well-drained soil: Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter to support healthy growth.
3. Sow seeds or transplant seedlings: Space seedlings about 15-20 cm apart for the best results, sowing seeds about 1 cm deep.

Care and Maintenance

• Water consistently: Keep the soil moist but not soggy, especially during dry spells, to encourage tender growth.
• Earth up for better stems: Mound soil around the base of the plants as they grow to blanch the stems for a tender texture.
• Harvest when mature: Leeks are ready when they reach about 20-30 cm in length; pick them as needed throughout the season.

With these seeds, you can enjoy homegrown leeks that bring a mild, sweet flavour to your winter recipes. Its reliable growth, disease resistance, and cold hardiness make it an excellent choice for any garden.
