Early Season
Colored line

    * Varna (50 days) is a tall "bunching" type developed for thick direct seeding to produce clumps of slender plants.
   
    * King Richard (75 days) is a summer leek with long, slender stems that stay sweet tender and white all season long. It can be sown densely to grow mini-leeks for use as a garnish or for soups or salads. It has some frost resistance, but will not overwinter.

    * Columbus (80 days) is a medium-sized leek that stays long and tall with very little tendency to bulb. The leaves are a blue-green. It has some winter hardiness, but should be mulched.

    * Rival (80 days) is a tall summer leek it can grow to 36" with 9" shaft that can have a large, 2" diameter. The leaves are green.

Mid Season Colored line

    * Dawn Giant (98 days) grows up to 15 inches long and 2 inches in diameter, topped with blue-green leaves.

    * Jolant (100 days) is a medium-sized leek with a 8-9" shaft and blue/green leaves. Hardy, even bulbs. Winter hardy.

    *  Lancelot (105 days) is a short leek with a large, cylindrical shaft. The leaf color is a gray-green. Winter hardy.

    * Splendid (105 days) is a rapid and vigorous grower, making a good size before fall (important since it is very winter tender). The 7-8 inch medium-green, non-bulbous stalks are easily blanched.

    * Albinstar Baby Leek (110 days) is a new Dutch variety developed for the baby leek market. Ready to harvest at ½ inch diameter, but can be left in the ground to grow larger. Deep green leaves.

    * Durabel (125 days) is a sturdy, thick winter leek with a mild flavor and tender texture.

    * American Flag (130 days) has a mild, sweet, onion-like flavor. It is very hardy, and will overwinter in milder climates. The 7-9 inch stems blanch snowy white and topped with blue-green leaves resemble giant scallions.

    * Bandit (135 days) is a short, sweet leek that can grow very thick with very little bulbing. Leaf color is blue-green. It is very winter hardy.

Extra-Late Season Colored line

    * Giant Musselburgh (150 days) has large, tender, white stalks with mild flavor. It has medium-dark green tops and is extremely hardy. A very dependable performer that has been around for more than 90 years.

Bulgarian Giant, Dobbies. But all Eastern European leek will grow anywhere near 5 feet, well, minus the winds and lack of summer here, but wont bolt for sure.
