Description
A wonderful leek variety with strong vigor that produces white, sturdy, robust stems with green foliage.

This flavorful variety is suitable for autumn and winter harvest and also adapts well to colder growing zones.

Leeks contain the B-vitamin folate and minerals such as potassium and calcium that are beneficial for the body.

Including leeks in your diet can help with nutrient synthesis, digestion, and promote a restful and refreshing sleep. This variety is perfect for making leek gratin or creamed leeks.

Two other delicious options are baking it in the oven with goat cheese and hazelnuts or making a tasty leek and potato soup.

Care and cultivation advice

Sow indoors in seed soil from February to April. Cover the sowing with a transparent cover with air holes for best germination results. A tip is to sow in small groups and then remove the weakest plants so that the stronger ones have more space. The plants are transplanted when they have hardened properly and the risk of frost has passed.

This variety can also be sown directly on the planting site as soon as the soil is warmed up and usable. Make sure to hill up the plants with soil to get long, stately, white necks. The variety is harvested gradually and can overwinter outdoors with the help of frost cover.
