Leek 'Large Musselburg'
Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum 'Large Musselburg'
Large Musselburg is an heirloom variety that produces large, mild-tasting leeks.
Leeks can be harvested at any size, but are at maturity when they are around 1"-1.5" in diameter and 6"-10" in length. If you would like your leeks to have a white stem, mound soil, mulch, or straw around the stems as they grow.
Leeks grow best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. If your soil drains poorly or is heavy, consider adding organic matter to break up the soil and improve drainage.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available March through June, depending on suppliers availability.
