  • Easy to clean & versatile in the kitchen.
  • For longer blanched shafts, hill plants as they develop.  
  • A great addition to late summer & early fall dishes.
• TRANSPLANT INFORMATION: Our leek transplants are dormant when shipped. It is normal for them to be pale & slightly dry due to dormancy & shipping. Generally, we recommend planting within one week. Leeks are very hardy & these healthy transplants will thrive if well cared for. For your gardening success, we have switched from selling potted onion plants to onion transplants.
• SHIPPING INFORMATION: We ship all dormant transplants beginning in early April. Our leeks are well-adapted for mid-northern states. If your region requires earlier planting you may want to source your leek transplants from a local nursery. For more information, see our Keene Garlic Seasonal Order Shipping Guide.
