The regality of this leek extends far past its name. Upright plants have very straight long, slender shafts with no hilling necessary. A subtle, mild leek flavor makes King Richard a culinary delight. This strain has been bred for winter–hardiness and will withstand mild frost. **Warning: Must be started indoors 10+ weeks before last frost and requires a slightly longer season.**
