Wild Garlic Alium ursinum

Common names include, ramsons, cowleek, buckrams, wood garlic and bear's garlic.

The small white flowers on stems and lance-shaped dark green leaves of this native perennial are a common sight spread across woodland floors from February to June.  Quick to naturalise, wild garlic will thrive in either full sun or dappled shade.

With a distinctive pungent smell of garlic, all parts of wild garlic plants are edible and can be used raw or cooked in pestos or added to soups and stews.

Spring wildflower bulbs 'in the green' are supplied when they are actively growing. This can be a more reliable way to transplant wildflower bulb species than from dormant bulbs planted in autumn. Wildflower bulbs in the green can be easier to plant as it is clear where the bulbs have been planted.  In most cases, the plants will flower the following spring.

Our highest-quality wildflower and meadow bulbs are grown in the UK from British plants.
