Product Information 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 to 10 inches long and 2 inches across. These leek seeds are a popular choice for kitchen gardens. The stems are tender and have excellent flavor, making them ideal for fresh consumption or cooked in soups! 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.
