Varna Organic
CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Varna is the ultimate summer leek replacing Imperial Copenhagen Market. It grows so quickly that it can be harvested at the green onion stage for gourmet baby leeks when closely planted. Left to mature, the white stalks can grow to very slender 35cm (14") long with lighter green leaves. Not winter hardy!
Matures in 60-80 days. (open pollinated seeds)
Best leek out there

Having a fairly harsh climate, I cannot overwinter my leeks easily, so summer leeks are my mainstay. These Varna leeks grow quickly, straight as an arrow, and when planted and hilled well, they have a very long blanched shank. Beautiful and sophisticated taste. They make my potato leek soup sing. |
