Allium porrum
Leeks are a prestigious allium. We obtained this regionally adapted variety from an avid local Boulder gardener who had been saving the seeds over the last ten years. We began growing Lily's Leeks and aside from its great vigor, we found it needed some selection to improve its uniformity and size. Presently the seed lot we offer is new from 2024 and has been selected for all the desirable traits one wants in a leek. Lily's Leeks are tall and delicious. We believe its origin may have been King Richard, a highly reputable variety grown widely today.
