Onion & Leek Plants
In this listing you will find a selection of transplanted or compost block-grown leek plants and onion plants that we can supply directly from our UK nursery.
All onion and leek plants are supplied ready for transplanting into containers or prepared open ground.
No kitchen garden or allotment is truly complete without some kind of allium plant. Leeks and onions are hugely versatile vegetables that, if possible, should be grown in large quantities as they can be used day in, day out in a huge variety of cooked dishes.
Because we understand that you don't want to just grow a successful crop of onion plants and leek plants - you want to grow alliums that offer fantastic, unrivalled flavour - we've taken the time and effort to bring you a selection of plants that can be grown on at home, and offer excellent taste that represents the very best of what the allium family can propound. The Shirley family makse a point of growing (and consuming!) all the varieties of onions and leeks that are available to buy via our website, to ensure that only the best varieties make the listings.
Our allium plants are supplied as fresh transplants or plants direct from our UK nursery, and as such should be planted on as soon as they are received in the post. And don't forget our handy videos and guidance on growing onions located in the Useful Stuff section of our website!
