King Richard (Allium ampeloprasum) is a fast-maturing heirloom leek delivering impressive yields of elongated, pristine white stems — often exceeding 12 inches — paired with upright medium-green foliage. Ideal for gardeners seeking early harvests. Dense planting at 40 seeds per foot produces tender finger-sized leeks perfect for specialty markets or home use. Frost-tolerant to 20°F. Premium soil and consistent care unlock its full potential.
Start indoors 10–12 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 6 inches apart (or densely at 40 per foot for finger-sized leeks) in full sun. Hill soil up around stems as they grow to blanch and lengthen the white portion. Water consistently. Harvest when stems reach desired size.

Seller is pleasant and shipment was swiftly excited to plant and see the outcome ty
Thank you very much! they look great and arrived in good condition!
The seeds arrived around the estimated time of arrival. They were well packaged and looked good. I planted a few 3 days ago and I've already got sprouts.
I hope these flowers will grow in North Dakota! The colors are vibrant and hopefully the bees will like them. I will have to wait until after the Big Thaw in April before I can plant them - can't wait!
