Season Overview

Description

Wild garlic is a perennial allium. From its elongated bulb grows two leaves in the spring, shiny on top. Its white flowers can be seen from April to June. Under optimal conditions, wild garlic can grow up to 30 cm tall. In midsummer, seeds are formed and the above-ground part dies back.

Growing tips

Wild garlic is a cold germinator. The best time for sowing is therefore in the fall. The seeds are covered with approx. 2 cm of soil. Growing is a little easier with onion sets. You can always plant them in small groups of 5 - 7 bulbs. To begin with, you need to clear the wild garlic of weeds. If it stands for a longer period of time, it will form a green carpet. The bulbous plant prefers a shady location with a sufficient water supply.
