I was online shopping for leek seeds and found this trial:

They gave high marks to a variety bred by a commercial company DC seeds
I noticed that a retail component of this company is:
https://www.neseed.com/
I never heard of any of their varieties but I bet there are those here that do. Some are root stock, and a lot of interesting vegetables across the growing spectrum.
The retail company is having a sale shown on their home page; 15% off premium hybrid seeds and free shipping thru Dec 4 with $9.99 purchase. I thought the seeds were a bit expensive, but the seed packages are tremendous for a home gardener.
I never did find the leek seeds mentioned in the above publication.
