Notes
'F. Comanche' leek (Allium ampeloprasum 'F. Comanche') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It takes 105 days to reach maturity. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Bok choy, Thai basil, and Lovage.
