About the Leek

Angelo’s Farm Market veggies are specifically selected for home growers to be productive, disease resistant, and flavorful. Leeks are a tall, upright, cylindrical, white onion with attractive, blue-green foliage that can add a sweeter, creamy yet tasty onion flavor to many dishes like soups and salads. Good cold weather tolerance. Maturity: 110 days


Care Notes

Plant in sunny, well-drained, nutrient rich soil or containers amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Garden-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
