Aka 'Blue Solaize' (100-120 days) A beautiful French heirloom, this leek has blue leaves that turn violet after a cold spell. Extremely cold-resistant and hardy, they can remain in the ground in winter until the ground is frozen and has to be chipped away.

(85-90 days) Handed down through generations of a Scottish family of farmers, this cold-hardy leek matures earlier than other varieties and yet overwinters beautifully. Scots leeks are known for their short shanks (white) and long leaf (green). Wonderful flavour.
