Notes

'Comanche F1' leek (Allium 'Comanche F1') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. This hybrid matures in about 105 days, and its fragrant flowers attract bees and butterflies.

Pairs well with Mountain Magic tomato, Sage, Oregano, and Salad burnet.
