Autumn Giant

Autumn Giant is a large-stemmed leek ideal for harvesting from autumn through early winter before the hardest frosts. It produces substantial, mild-flavoured stems and is well suited to show or exhibition growing. Less winter-hardy than Musselburgh but produces earlier and larger stems.
