A superb new choice for any home gardener looking to grow sweet, tender, and versatile leeks with minimal effort.

Boasting exceptional flavour and a robust nature, this is a welcome variety for the kitchen, whether whipping up a creamy leek and potato soup, adding them to hearty casseroles, or roasting them for a gourmet touch.

What sets 'Jolant' apart is its ability to thrive in UK conditions. Its hardy nature makes it ideal for growing in garden beds or deep containers. The long, straight stems have pristine white bases and lush green tops, adding visual appeal as well as culinary versatility.

These robust plants are resistant to common pests and diseases, ensuring a stress-free growing experience. To get the best results, plant them in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, and before you know it, you’ll have a crop of leeks ready for your favourite recipes.

Enjoy free delivery on these plug plants! Please note: If you add other items to your order then this may include a postage surcharge.

Supplied as six healthy plug plants.

Top Tips

Harvesting:

  • Leeks are ready to harvest from autumn to early spring, depending on planting time. Look for stems that are around 2.5–4 cm thick.
  • Use a garden fork to gently lift the leeks out of the soil without damaging the roots.
Care Information
  • Choose a sunny or lightly shaded location with well-drained, fertile soil.
  • Enrich the soil with well-rotted manure or compost a few weeks before planting.
  • Gradually acclimate your plug plants to outdoor conditions over 7–10 days before planting.
  • Use a dibber or trowel to create 15cm deep holes spaced 15cm apart, with rows spaced 30cm apart.
  • Drop one plug plant into each hole, refill the hole, then water well to settle the soil around the roots.

Care:

  • Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells.
  • Avoid waterlogging, which can harm the roots.
  • Apply a high-potassium liquid fertiliser (e.g. tomato feed) every few weeks to promote strong, healthy growth.
  • As the leeks grow, mound soil or compost around the stems to encourage longer, blanched (white) stems.
Delivery Information

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast.
