‘Jaune de Poitou’ Yellow Leek (Early)

A nice productive early leek for autumn harvest – the yellow colour makes a great contrast in the garden.This traditional leek from the west of France grows quickly. Get it in early, and it is then ready right at the start of the winter, making short fat leeks in Autumn. 

We’re so happy to have got some seed of this again – it is incredibly rare. This seed batch, although new, does not germinate as well as we would like – about 70%. But it is almost never available so we have decided to offer it anyways, and have put extra seed in the packet. Please sow slightly more than usual.

Normally harvested before the really hard frosts start, as it is not as cold-hardy as the overwintering leeks below.
