BUYERS NOTES
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.

Cover with 6mm (¬ºin) of vermiculite or compost, maintaining a temperature of 15-20°C (59-68°F) until germination.
