American Flag Leek is a classic heirloom variety treasured for its thick, tender stalks and mild, sweet onion flavor. This versatile vegetable adds depth and aroma to soups, stews, and sautés while serving as a milder alternative to traditional onions. Growing up to 12-15 inches tall, these leeks thrive in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. They require a long growing season of about 120 days, making them ideal for fall or overwintering harvests in cooler climates. Known for their cold-hardiness, American Flag Leeks perform exceptionally well in extended seasons and can even withstand frost. The plants have a compact, upright growth habit, making them suitable for small gardens or interplanting with other crops. With their easy cultivation, long harvest window, and delicious flavor, American Flag Leeks are a must-have addition to any vegetable garden, offering a gourmet touch to your culinary creations.

Did You Know? The leek is an ancient national symbol of Wales. In fact, a leek is the cap badge of the Welsh Guards, an infantry division of the British Army.
