Blue Solaise

A beautiful French heirloom! Blue Solaise Leek (Allium ampeloprasum) produces large, 15- to 20-inch, bluish-green stalks with ivory colored shanks that are crisp, sweet and delicious. Extremely hardy, they will overwinter in most areas and can be eaten year-round. (100-120 days from transplant)

Each packet contains approximately 100 seeds.

Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Easy to grow and frost tolerant. Sow directly into prepared beds 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost. Try broadcasting over a wide row and gently rake or tamp to a depth of 1/8 inch deep — barely cover! Grow in full sun and cool conditions with temperatures under 75˚F.

Pull or fork from the ground when stems are one inch or larger in diameter. In cold climates, you can continue the harvest by mulching heavily around plants.
