Notes
'D. Biker' leek (Allium ampeloprasum 'D. Biker') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It takes 90 days to reach maturity. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Bok choy, Thai basil, and Lovage.
