Notes
'H. Bandit' leek (Allium ampeloprasum 'H. Bandit') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plan on 120 days to maturity.
