We process and dispatch orders promptly and keep you informed throughout the delivery process.
Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum), also known as Ramsons, is a vigorous native woodland plant that produces lush green leaves in early spring followed by starry white flowers in April and May. Known for its unmistakable garlicky aroma and edible leaves, Wild Garlic is a favourite among foragers and gardeners alike. It naturalises rapidly, creating attractive ground cover in shady, moist areas under trees or in woodland gardens.
These dormant bulbs should be planted in autumn for early spring emergence. Once established, Wild Garlic returns year after year, forming large drifts that offer both visual appeal and culinary use. Its nectar-rich flowers are also valuable to early pollinators like bees.
