‘Bleu de Solaise’ Blue Winter Leek

An old French winter variety – long leeks with blue-grey leaves. Hardy and very cold-resistant, it turns darker after frost. 

In a comparative trial against ‘Musselburgh’, it was noticeably more vigorous, growing faster & bigger, although the two varieties share a common ancestry.

A good one for standing overwinter even in atrocious weather.

Late, for winter/spring harvest.
