Caretan

The Carentan Leek, a simple and rewarding addition to your garden. To cultivate these flavourful leeks successfully, ensure your soil is well-drained, deeply plowed, and generously fertilised. Drawing the soil up around the plants, covering their stems, is a key practice for optimal growth. ‘Carentan’ leeks are renowned for their medium to large-sized stems, delivering consistent quality with a mild, pleasant flavour. Leeks are incredibly easy to grow, thriving in full sun. Their edible part is the white, blanched base of the leaves above the roots and stem.
