Herbaceous Perennial Herbs - Culinary
A perennial usually grown as an annual, with long, lance-shaped, dark green leaves arching over as they grow. The leaf-bases are wrapped around each other to form the edible 'stem', usually blanched white. If not harvested, plants will go on to flower in summer, producing strong, upright stems to 1.5m topped with a rounded flowerhead of small, star-shaped, white flowers. This is a well-flavoured leek cultivar, with thick stems, standing well for several months, to allow cropping from mid-autumn to late winter
