Leeks French Baby Primor
EXCLUSIVE – Bred in France for premium fresh markets, we import Primor for extra-early yields of top-quality, non-bulbing leeks with tender sweet, snowy white flesh. This vigorous hybrid germinates quickly and sizes up fast for ample summer harvests. You’ll have lots of leeks to pull as 1⁄2 inch thick babies and grill to sweet succulence, or grow to maturity as long thick bulbless shanks full of juicy savor. A marvelous French specialty.

BEST TO START INDOORS
Sow seeds 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix, cover 1/2 inch deep, and firm soil over seeds. Keep moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant out. Seeds germinate sporadically over 2 to 3 weeks and grow slowly at first. Once seedlings are 3 or 4 inches tall, transplant 4 to 6 inches apart into well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. To get long-shanked leeks, plant seedlings down deep into the soil, so tips stick up 1 inch above ground level.
TO START OUTDOORS
Sow seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Space seeds 1 inch apart in rows 8 to 10 inches apart, or broadcast thinly for bed planting. Cover 1/2 inch deep and firm soil well over seeds; keep soil moist to ensure good germination. Thin as above.
GROWING NOTES
Plant leeks in early spring and again in midsummer for fall and winter use. Long-growing leeks need a rich fertile soil, so add lots of compost or aged manure before planting, and fertilize several times over the growing season. Weed leeks carefully when young, and mulch to conserve soil moisture.
