Allium porrum is the leek group in this bulk seed assortment for seed merchants and garden centres. Long leaves and overlapping leaf sheaths give leek a different form from a bulb onion. A useful reseller range distinguishes individual varieties by their descriptions rather than treating every blue-green leek as the same selection.
Leaf sheaths and flowering stage
Leek has an upright habit with green to blue-green leaves. Its familiar pale shaft is a pseudostem formed by overlapping leaf sheaths. Plants left to flower develop tall stalks topped by rounded heads of pale pink or white flowers. The leafy vegetable stage and the later flowering stage are therefore different phases of the same plant.
Named leek varieties
Bleu de Solaise is a traditional French leek with steel-blue foliage. Bulgarian Giant and Bluegreen Winter Farinto are further named references in this assortment. Leaf colour provides one point of comparison, but the full cultivar name remains necessary to distinguish the seed articles.
Wholesale leek seed quantities
These leek entries have weight-based prices. For B2B enquiries, pair the selected variety with its article reference and the required seed weight. This makes it possible to assemble a leek seed range for resale while keeping different selections and their quoted quantities separate.
