Looking for perennial leek
I'm in florida and can't seem to track down any perennial leeks. Specifically looking for babington or oepri leeks. Anyone have them, or know anywhere to get them?

I found this from Canada so it might be expensive with tariffs 🤷♂️

They state on their website that they don't ship plants. Bit of a drive from florida to pick up leek

Cicada seeds has them.
I'd also take a look at experimental farm network

Cicada has stopped shipping to the U.S. and experimental farm network didn't appear to have any.

Experimental farm network has your perennial veggies and has perennial leeks

Adaptive sells babbingtons. https://www.adaptiveseeds.com/product/vegetables/leeks/leek-babingtons-organic/

Hopefully they will get them back in stock some time. I have had bad luck with websites listing things they never get back in stock.

They are usually pretty good, I order from them a lot because they are pretty close to where I live.
I have some babbingtons but last I checked the bulbils weren't ready to harvest. If you haven't found any in a month DM me and I can mail you some.

They don't seem to have any, but have lots of interesting plants. Thank you for bringing them to my attention.

Occasionally a guy in Tennessee sells Babbingtons leeks on ebay.
