Product Details

Allium ursinum, commonly known as Wild Garlic or Bear's Garlic, is a perennial plant found in the damp woodlands and shaded areas of Europe and Asia. Its most distinctive feature is the small bulb from which elongated, bright green, elliptical basal leaves emerge, closely resembling those of Convallaria (lily of the valley). In spring, the plant is adorned with delicate star-shaped white flowers that appear in umbels, adding a unique charm both visually and aromatically.

Wild Garlic is prized not only for its beauty but also for its distinctive garlic scent, which intensifies when the leaves are crushed. It is commonly found in moist, well-drained soils and is used in both gardening and culinary applications. Its edible leaves provide a mild, fresh flavor similar to garlic. Its ability to form dense clusters and quickly naturalize makes it an excellent choice for shady gardens or edible plantings in cool, damp environments.
