"One packet will plant 18' of row. 98 days. The first easy-to-grow leek! This leek is huge up to 15"" long and 2"" across but what really makes it special is how extraordinarily early it is. That means you can forget about the hassle of starting seed indoors. Just sow the seeds directly in the ground in early spring, and you'll be pulling long succulent stems by midsummer on into fall. Burpee exclusive. Sun."

"I've been growning these leeks for years in North Pole Alaska. They would get huge.I would start them in February. I see that they might be discontinued. Please do not remove this item from your catalog, It has been awesome."

Excellent Leek,
December 23, 2007 Submitted byHugo from Milford, CT
"This year was the first time I direct seeded leeks in my garden. I usually start them on a windowsill in late February and transplant them around early May. For a change, I decided to direct seed Burpee Dawn Giant leeks into my plot in early May and eventually thinned them to 8"-10" apart. By September, I was picking giant leeks of excellent quality. If you like leeks, you should try this variety."
