Babington Leek (Allium ampeloprasum var. babingtonii) Seeds
£2.99
A useful and unusual perennial vegetable, Babington’s leek combines ornamental structure, edible value, and long-term productivity in a low-maintenance garden plant. Unlike cultivated leeks, Babington’s leek is a long-lived perennial that spreads gradually by bulbils and division, forming clumps over time. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is particularly well suited to coastal gardens, dry borders, and wildlife-friendly planting schemes due to its hardiness and tolerance of exposed conditions.

Okahijiki - Japanese land seaweed (Salsola komarovii) Seeds
£2.99
An unusual annual vegetable grown for its crisp, succulent foliage and mild, naturally salty flavour. Popular in Japanese cuisine, the young shoots are harvested and eaten fresh in salads, lightly steamed, stir-fried, or used as a garnish.
Despite its common name, it is not a seaweed but a terrestrial plant that produces fine, branching stems with a distinctive appearance reminiscent of marine vegetation. Fast-growing and productive, it can be harvested repeatedly while young for the best texture and flavour.

It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, particularly sandy or free-draining conditions, and is highly tolerant of salt and drought once established. Mature plants develop deep roots and can live for many years with minimal maintenance.
