Why is the leek blossom removed?
Flowering leek is a rare picture in the hobby garden. That has a good reason. The flower makes a plant completely inedible. As a result, skilled gardeners remove the inflorescence at the earliest possible stage.
The persistent removal of the flower also provides plenty of material for propagation. If the leek blossoms are constantly broken out, numerous root bulbs form in the root area. These are ideal for the cultivation of the next generation of plants.
Anyone who allows his leek to bloom despite all this is rewarded with countless capsule fruits. These contain seeds galore for sowing.
