Named for its wide, sturdy stems, which resemble flag poles, American Flag leek is a relatively carefree variety that consistently produces 1-2" wide stalks with tender, white inte riors. Stems have an exceptional flavor with a mild sweetness that intensifies with frost. We love them sliced, sautéed in butter and added to a simmering pot of potatoes for a belly-warming treat on that first really chilly fall workday. American Flag leeks are very easy to grow from seed. The plants pictured here were started indoors in mid-March and set out a month later when they were merely more than threads. 150 days to harvest. 100 seeds per packet. Show more
