Description
Lancelot Leeks are great for soups, salads, and roasting. Each full bunch of leek plants contains approximately 50-60 plants. Leeks are not day length sensitive. As long as you keep blanching them (throwing dirt up on the shaft), they will continue to grow. These long 12-14″ shafts are ideal for appearance and flavor. Leek plants are priced separately due to high production costs. Free growing guide included. Plant 4-5″ deep. Fertilize just like onions.

These were strong seedlings that grew to large size with good leek flavor. We had a 95% survival rate out of the bunch of leeks that we received. Very pleased with them.
Barry Andreasen –
planted in 2 spots with varying sunlight exposure. All did really well, though less sunlight area did not achieve same size as full. Didn’t count exact but suspect a similar survival rate (95%). Taste was excellent (made great leek soup and stock). Very pleased, ordering for next season.

This will be our third year planting Dixondale leeks in Oklahoma. They are easy to grow and delicious! Small ones get thrown on the grill while the larger ones get turned into soup. We use alfalfa to mound up around them as they grow to maximize the white base. Keeps them upright and clean.
