How to Use / How to Grow: Sow Giant leek seeds in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Start seeds early and transplant seedlings once they are sturdy, spacing them to allow stalks to size up properly. Planting seedlings deeply or gradually hilling soil around the stems helps produce longer white portions.
Leeks prefer consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Harvest when stalks reach the desired thickness, and enjoy fresh or cooked in a variety of dishes.
