Notes
'Oslo F1' leek (Allium 'Oslo 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 usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms.
Pairs well with Supersweet 100 tomato, Poblano pepper, and Common comfrey.
