This leek has a unique taste, different from the somewhat hot, acidic flavor normally associated with leeks and onions. Tadorna is sweet and mild with dark blue-green leaves and is known for its holding qualities, once mature, in the cool soils of fall and winter (if not frozen). Full sun, moist soil. Harvest when 1/2″ diameter or larger. Text and photo courtesy of Johnny’s Seed.
Care: In late spring, space pencil-thick transplants 6″ apart in rows 24″ apart.
Fall Harvest variety
Late-season vegetables adapted to tolerate both the heat of late summer and the cool nights of fall. Harvest in late summer or fall. See our Fall & Winter Vegetable Guide for specific planting/harvest times & freeze-out temperatures.
