Joining broad beans as a stalwart of the garden in winter is the organic leek variety Tadorna, although on this occasion the plants are ready to be harvested throughout the coldest months of the year.
A slightly sweeter and less overpowering alternative to the onion in warming winter soups and broths - and summer salads of course - leeks are quite happy to stand throughout the winter until required - giving you that unique, just-harvested taste. Tadorna possesses a particularly good ability to stand overwinter and produces medium to long white shafts which contrast wonderfully with the dark green flags.
Supplied in packets of 50 seeds and tolerant of yellow leaf stripe and leaf spot, this is one winter leak you won't mind discovering!
