Thompson & Morgan Leek Mercurian F1 Hybrid

If you‚re looking for a strong growing autumn variety of leek with long white stems that resist becoming ‚bulby‚ then Leek ‚Mercurian F1‚ is ideal for you. An upright, non-drooping leaf habit allows for good air circulation which minimises the risk of mould or infection.
