Grow Heirloom Leeks - Plant American Flag Leek Seeds

American Flag Leek is a classic leek and the predominant choice for home gardeners. A close relative of both onion and garlic, leeks are most commonly used in soups and stews, but can also be used effectively in salads. Considered an "overwintering" variety, American Flag Leeks were bred to endure cold Northeastern winters.
