Seeing the thread topic if it is too late to grow leeks, I wanted to say absolutely not. To tell the truth I don't really know when is best to plant them, but I just had to share this.I actually have a sign in the display gardens because this plant get so much attention and questions asked. I call it the story of the "Little Green Onion"

The larger plant was planted in the Fall of 2008. It has since produced many babies.

It all started when I was making a salad and had chopped up some small green onions and was going to throw away the end with the roots on it. Well being the gardener I am, I thought why not just stick them in the dirt. So that I did. Not only did the “Little Green Onion” take hold it survived the winter (several now) and shows off ever year with twisted arms and large round flower heads for all to wonder what kind of plant it is or variety of Allium . The answer is it's the "Little Green Onion".

We got down to 13 degrees this winter---didn't phase the "Little Green Onion" still out there showing off.
