Leek (Allium ampeloprasum 'Zermatt')

The wild ancestor of the leek, *Allium ampeloprasum*, is native to the **Mediterranean region and parts of Western Asia**.

Specifically:

* **Mediterranean Basin:** This includes countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Turkey, North Africa, and the Middle East.
* **Western Asia:** Extending eastward to countries like Iran.

While the specific cultivar ‘Zermatt’ is likely a more modern development and bred in a specific location (possibly Switzerland, given the name), its origins are based on the genetic material of the species *Allium ampeloprasum*, which is naturally found in the Mediterranean and Western Asia.

Suitable in 3 gallon or larger
