Product Information Chevron Down Chevron Forward

The American Flag Leek is a sweet member of the onion family.

This leek variety has large, white stems that often measure 8"-10" long and 2" across. The leek stems are tender and have excellent flavor, making them ideal for fresh consumption or cooked in soups! Yum!

To use leeks, cut off their roots (the very tip of their white stems) and then dice, slice and/or mash them in any way you'd like. Leeks are cold tolerant.

Instructions Chevron Down Chevron Forward

You can start American Flag Leek seeds indoors in a sunny location 8 weeks before the last frost. (Plants about 6" tall will transplant best) or you can sow leek seeds directly in the garden every 2" and cover with soil; thin to 4" apart when 4" tall. Note: As leeks mature, they should be earthed up and blanched like celery.

Planting Depth: .5"

Seed Spacing: Sow American Flag Leek seeds roughly 4" apart in rows.

Suggestions Chevron Down Chevron Forward

Leeks need a long growing season to reach full size. A leek can be left in the ground until a hard freeze or pulled when mature and stored in a cool area.

At Ferry Morse, we are proud of our non-GMO & guaranteed fresh seeds.
