American Flag Leek is a classic cool-season variety known for its long, thick white stalks and broad blue-green leaves. It has a mild, sweet onion-like flavor that becomes more pronounced when cooked, making it ideal for soups, stews, sautés, and roasting.

This dependable variety is valued for its hardiness and ability to withstand cold temperatures, often extending harvest well into late fall or early winter. It produces uniform, tender stems when given adequate spacing and rich soil.

• Type: Open-pollinated biennial (grown as an annual)
• Direct sow: Early spring or mid-summer for fall/winter harvest
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 4–6 inches
• Height: 12–18 inches (edible stalk)
• Days to harvest: 75–120 days

Leeks grow best in cool weather and deep, fertile, well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors or direct sow and transplant for best results. Gradually hill soil around stems to blanch and lengthen the edible white portion. Keep soil consistently moist and harvest as needed once stalks reach usable size.
