Very sweet, mild flavor.
No matter how large your crowd, this Leek will feed 'em all!
80 days. When Abraham Lincoln said that a man's legs should be long enough to reach the ground, he probably never imagined that one day a super long "legged" Leek would bear his name! But this is a delectably mild and sweet Leek that, in addition to its amazing size, is a gourmet delicacy worthy of the finest gardens.
Reaching 18 to 20 inches tall and with a base diameter of 2 1/2 inches or more, Lincoln is out to feed a crowd. The shaft is long and white, the leaves a deep, vitamin-packed green. Harvest it as a baby at 50 days for super-mild, succulent flavor, or let it mature to a strapping giant at 80 days. Pkt is 100 seeds.
