Hi Pat,
pot leeks are a type of leek that was bred for showing, rather like show
dogs and cats, a super leek I suppose. when they are put on show they have
to be a certain size, and the white part has to be so large and so on.
prizes are awarded to the best leek. hope this helps you.

Hi Murf,
no I just grow them to eat, once you have grown pot leeks you will not
grow
anything else. do you intend to show them ?. if so you will have to start
them off very early in the year in a green house. in fact most people who
grow leeks for show grow them in green houses for their entire life, to
have
total control over the conditions that they are grown under. hope this
helps
you. if you need any more infomation, and I can help you I will.

any difference?

Thanks.
