Details

Musselburgh Giant Leek is a delicious mild flavored variety that features thick creamy white succulent stems and robust 12" inch blue-green upright leaves that resemble giant scallions. This variety has excellent cold hardiness and is an ideal crop for fall and winter to replace traditional onions. Dating back to the 1830's, this well loved Scottish heirloom is a favorite for seasoning stews, stuffings, dumplings, soups and baked dishes where a more subtle onion flavor is desired. Slow to bolt with a dependable yield, Musselburgh Giant is an all around excellent crop for home gardeners and fresh market growers. 100 days. Packet: approx. 250 seeds.
