where this is mentioned in the description.
The vegetation period of leek is calculated in days from the moment of full emergence to harvest readiness. Depending on the duration of this cycle, varieties are divided into early-maturing (75–130 days), mid-maturing (145–175 days), and late-maturing (180–200 days).
The duration of the period determines the choice of technology: due to the length of the growing season in temperate climates, the crop is primarily grown using the seedling method. Late-maturing varieties are characterized by increased cold resistance and are capable of growing at low positive temperatures, allowing for harvest in October-November.
