SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Allium porrum
VARIETIES:
"Kind Richard". Remarkable earliness and size. In favorable soil and culture, the white shanks are over a foot long to the first leaf. Medium-green leaves with full habit. Sold in packs of 3 cells. Each cell will contain about 3 leek seedlings.
CULTURE:
Leeks are heavy feeders and require fertile soil (pH of 6.2-6.8) for best results. During the growing period hill the plants with soil 2 or 3 times, higher with each hoeing. This forces the leaves higher up the plant resulting in extra-long blanched stalks and a much greater edible portion. When using the "dibble method," hilling is reduced or eliminated.
