Description

The listing, 30+ wild leek seeds (Allium tricoccum) has ended.

Wild leeks are my absolute favorite of onions! The old wives tale is if you eat leeks three days in a row, you will be healthy for the year and I believe there is truth to that! Great eating raw, or cook in stews, eggs, just about anything you want onions in. These seeds have been cold treated already so you won't have to and it's a good class room experiment for areas that do not receive frost or freezing temps. I sell alot of these on another site and people in southern areas tell me once they sprout these, if it is to hot in their area, they grow them in there refrigerator! They like dappled shade with more moisture but not soggy area to grow in. Bees love them. Also as a possible bonus, the VERY RARE Allium Burkickii (another edible wild leek) seeds were accidentally added to my seed collection so the chances are really good you might have some of those mixed in with the tricoccum but the seeds all look the same so I will have no idea.
ALSO, when you harvest these, after cutting the roots off, replant them then you will have more!

Hi fine, I just realized that I need to click on your reply to answer you instead of the reply button way below. Sorry if you didn't recieve my answer back to you. Years ago I had to drive through that dang circle....twilight zone is a good way to describe it! Now I live way up north in a town that only has one stop sign and no mind blowing circles to drive around (unless you go to Corning NY, construction there is gettingmind boggling!)

Yes. Have you ever tried them before? If i could, I would list them above onions because of taste and well everything about them.

No but I've wanted to, I even was hunting for them while camping, I also have recipes calling for those ramps

If you still are going out camping, leeks are still in flower and some are full seed...it will be alot easier to find. If you bid on any of these seeds, I do put in alot extra! Love to share these with people, I cannot say enough about them, they are wonderful!
