Introducing Leek Below-Zero F1 Hybrid, the perfect choice for those who want to harvest superior leeks even in extreme cold. This British-bred variety combines the vigour of an F1 hybrid with exceptional resistance to rust and bolting, ensuring that you can enjoy high-quality leeks from late autumn through to spring. With striking white stems and robust dark leaves, Below-Zero remains fresh and firm over extended periods, making it ideal for winter dining. This hardy biennial flourishes in well-prepared, fertile soil and is suitable for both garden beds and patio containers. From direct outdoor sowing to indoor beginnings, it adapts effortlessly to climates and withstands harsh winter weather. For best results, ensure full sun to partial shade, and sow indoors at temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, transplanting outdoors once the frost risk passes.
