Notes
'G. Oslo' leek (Allium ampeloprasum 'G. Oslo') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It takes 110 days to reach maturity.
Pairs well with Bull's Blood beet, Jimmy Nardello pepper, and Holy basil.
