Direct sow seeds in late spring to early summer after the last frost. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. If transplanting, do so when 5-6 leaves appear. Cut back any blooms during the first season to have healthier plants next season. Requirements for flowering: sufficient vegetative growth (1-2 years), low temperatures in winter, and long summer days. Generally, Chinese leeks will not produce many flowers in the first growing season. Remove weeds promptly and water infrequently but deeply. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eFor growing blanched leeks (cultivate only the most robust plants in this manner): after an initial harvest of green leaves, cover with a tunnel and exclude all light while continuing to provide all of the plant's other needs. The new sprouts will emerge in darkness and have a more tender texture and subtle flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Flowering Chinese Leek\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest by cutting just above ground level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCulinary Tips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery part of this plant is edible and has a delicious garlicky flavor.
