  • Leek ‘Musselburgh’ is a proper traditional variety and a favourite in many UK veg patches. It produces long, thick white stems with dark green tops and has that classic, mild leek flavour that works so well in soups, stews and winter dishes. It’s a hardy, reliable choice that stands well through colder weather, making it ideal for autumn and winter harvesting.

  • This is a strong-growing variety that performs well in open ground and is known for its ability to cope with tougher conditions. If you’re looking for a dependable leek that does exactly what it should, Musselburgh is hard to beat.

    Watering Water regularly while the plant is establishing, then allow the upper soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established Mediterranean herbs prefer free-draining conditions and generally need less water than leafy crops. Container-grown plants will still need checking frequently during warm, dry weather.

    Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in multi-purpose compost, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.

    Top tip

    Keep the bed weed-free while plants are young, as alliums compete poorly with vigorous weeds around their shallow roots. It works particularly well in an allotment setting; give it enough space and light to develop naturally rather than crowding it.
