‘Bleu de Solaise’ Leek (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum). The ‘Bleu de Solaise’ leek is a remarkable variety that brings an elegant presence and great reliability to the vegetable garden, especially as temperatures cool. Its bluish-green foliage, which takes on purplish hues in cold weather, offers a subtle and refined spectacle while signaling exceptional hardiness. Highly prized for its well-developed shaft and mild, slightly sweet flavor, it naturally finds its place in hearty cuisine, from winter soups to stews and more refined preparations.
Recommended sowing period: March to April. The depth to respect is 1 cm (3/8 in). Emergence generally takes 10 to 20 days. For germination, maintain the potting mix at 15 to 21 °C (59 to 70 °F). Keep onion, leek, or shallot seedlings well-identified, as their young foliage looks similar. Sufficient light and regular moisture accompany seedling growth. Transplant delicately when the type of crop requires it, without crushing the base of the leaves. In the garden, prepare a surface that is easy to weed: these narrow plants cover little ground at the beginning of their development.
In the garden, it stands out for its ability to extend the harvesting season, providing a fresh resource from early autumn until late winter. Rows of onions and leeks are suitable for areas of the vegetable garden where one can work without walking between plants. Their vertical silhouette can border a more sprawling crop, provided the foliage receives light. Identify varieties to be bundled and those to be bulbous to choose the right harvesting stage. Keep the row accessible for weeding until the plants are well established.
