RHS Leek Porbella Seeds produce a reliable, high yielding leek variety valued for its long, thick white stems and excellent flavour. This outstanding garden leek is winter hardy and slow to bolt, allowing crops to stand well in the ground until required, making it ideal for extended harvesting through the colder months.

Porbella develops strong dark green leaves and uniform stems with a good length, offering both visual appeal and practical kitchen use. Its tolerance to rust and robust growth habit make it a dependable choice for UK growing conditions, even during challenging seasons.

Plants are suitable for sowing under cover in spring before being transplanted outdoors, where they establish quickly and continue growing steadily through summer and autumn. Once mature, leeks can be lifted as needed from October through to February, providing a valuable fresh crop when many other vegetables are scarce.

Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, Leek Porbella has been recognised for its reliability, productivity and consistent performance. It performs well in allotments, vegetable patches and borders, and is equally suited to experienced growers and those new to growing leeks.

Part of the trusted seed range produced by Mr Fothergill’s Seeds in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society, these seeds are packed in the UK and meet strict quality standards.
