Leek Carentan represents a distinguished European heirloom variety prized for its exceptional flavor profile and culinary versatility. This cultivar produces elongated stalks with well-proportioned bulbs reaching approximately 2 inches in diameter, delivering tender, succulent flesh that cooks remarkably quickly—a significant advantage for efficient meal preparation. The superior taste makes it a favorite among discerning gardeners and culinary enthusiasts alike. What sets Carentan apart is its remarkable cold tolerance and perennial characteristics. In milder climates, these leeks can overwinter successfully and return year after year, providing multi-season harvests from a single planting. This longevity makes them an economical choice for long-term garden planning. Additionally, the variety demonstrates strong natural resistance to common insect pests and fungal diseases, reducing the need for intensive pest management and supporting organic gardening practices. With a rapid maturation window of approximately 60 days, you'll enjoy fresh harvests in a single growing season. Our Non-GMO seeds maintain a germination rate of 70% or better, ensuring reliable establishment. We've packaged these seeds in environmentally conscious materials that are reusable and recyclable, reflecting our commitment to sustainable agriculture and reducing your garden's environmental footprint.
