The Giant Musselberg Leek is an old variety that originated in Scotland. It's a reliable producer of thick stalks that are over 2 inches in diameter. The leeks have good flavor, though it's on the milder side. They're also known for their beautiful foliage and robust nature.

Giant Musselberg Leeks do not require a lot of special care and can tolerate a range of soil conditions. However, they do prefer moist soil with a neutral pH level. When growing these leeks, it's important to provide them with plenty of space, as they can grow to be quite large.

How to Save Seeds 

Leeks will not cross with onions, only other leeks so isolate by ¾ of a mile. There is no need to store overwinter simply leave them in the garden until the next year. If you have terribly cold winters you can always mulch them or hill up the dirt around them. Once next year arrives the leeks will produce an umbel which should be ready around the fall; once the umbel is dry pick them and rub them in your hands over a clean surface to release the seeds.
