This variety can grow in one place for up to five years, making it convenient for long-term cultivation. The leaves of LEADER are flat, wide, light green, with a tender and juicy structure, possessing a mildly sharp taste with a characteristic garlic aroma. Leaf mass in the first year reaches 20-30 grams per plant, and in the second year—already 200-250 grams, indicating the high productivity of the variety.
The period from mass spring growth to the first harvest is 38-41 days, which allows using the onion fresh relatively quickly. Reproduction is possible both by seeds and by dividing the bush, which facilitates care and maintenance of plantings.
