Leek Plants - Leek 'Prizetaker', Leek 'Scotland'

A tuberous biennial of the onion genus(allium), that is a native to Switzerland and is also found wild in Algeria. Brought
into cultivation by the Greeks. This bulbless allium has hollow flat leaves and a long tuberous shank or elongated soft
bulb. A great addition to soups, salads, and any dish where a mild onion flavor is acquired.

GROWING TIPS
Loving an organically rich soil that is in a pH range of 6.0 - 8.0. Leeks require constantly moist soil to maintain good
substance. The use of sifted compost to hill up the leeks and elongate shanks is also a great way to fertilize the growing
soft bulb.
In poor soils digging in compost is recommended for drainage and a constant supply of nutrients. Leeks are rarely
touched by pests, just watch for spring slugs, and neck rot in poor draining soils.
