Following a few comments here, /i've just looked at Peace seeds Babbington topset leeks. They only supply bulbils - can't import them

.
Do these ever set seed? Leeks are my allium of choice, and a topsetter would be fantastic.

No bulbils on those plants. Anxious to see what they produce when planted back. Martin
