Allium Porrum, Genus Allium Seed 5000 PCS, Original Leek Jiucong

LEEKS (allium porrum)The Leek is an onion like plant used in cooking and recognized by its distinct odor. Leeks are a relative of the onion, chives and garlic families. This vegetable has long, quill-like leaves and a bulb which contains the fruit. Leeks are believed to be native either to Algiers or to Switzerland. The herb was first grown by ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. In Europe, leek was cultivated during the Middle Ages as a savored vegetable and a flavoring agent. Leeks are easy to grow from seed and tolerate standing in the field for an extended harvest, which takes place up to 6 months from planting. The soil in which it is grown has to be loose and drained well; leek can be grown in the same regions where onions can be grown. Leeks usually reach maturity in the autumn months. Leeks can be bunched and harvested early when they are about the size of a finger or pencil, or they can be thinned and allowed to grow to a much larger mature size. Hilling leeks can produce better specimens.
