Musselburgh Leek Seeds

Musselburgh Leeks yield abundant harvests of short, thick stems boasting excellent flavor and a tender texture when cooked. Known for its exceptional hardiness, Leek Musselburgh remains steadfast even in the coldest winter conditions, making it a favored option for cultivation in colder regions.

It typically reaches a height of 45cm (18 inches) with a spread of 30cm (12 inches).

These leeks can be successfully grown either by sowing them in winter under glass or by direct spring sowing into the soil. When sown in winter, they yield smaller leeks perfect for salads by August. On the other hand, seeds sown in spring will produce a first crop by December, ideal for Christmas dinner. These leeks can be left in the soil and harvested as needed, maintaining their quality until April.
