Ramps 'Wild Leeks'

PLANTING 

Bare root bulbs should be planted as soon as possible after delivery. Plant in a rich wooded area with filtered light. Choose a site void of evergreens such as pines, laurel, holly, etc. Plant 3” deep up to 1’ apart with the tip up, slightly above the ground. Cover with leaves from hardwoods. If you do not have a wooded area available, use a shade structure, such as shade cloth, over the planting area to mimic forest canopy conditions. Provide adequate moisture throughout the growing season, not just during new growth periods. To ensure harvestable ramps for years to come, only harvest 15% of the plot each year. The active growing period is early and short. They die back in the heat needing protection from the harsh sun.
