About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A robust winter leek, ‚Blaugrüner Winter’, with striking blue‑green, almost leaf‑like foliage and medium‑length, firm stalks. This variety is bred for hardiness and can stand outdoors without protection, even when others have long been harvested. You harvest it as needed from late autumn into spring; it stays fresher in the garden bed than in the refrigerator. It is seed‑fertile and modest, making it well suited for self‑sufficiency in the home garden.

Spicy and hearty, with a strong leek aroma. In soups and stews it develops its depth especially well.
