Appearance
Beginning growth early in the spring, wild garlic develops from a bulb into an upright, grass-like plant with an onion or garlic odor. Stems can grow to more than 3 feet.
The leaves of wild garlic are 2-ranked, slender, hollow, nearly round; and attached halfway down on waxy stem.
The inflorescence is an umbel, 1 to 2 inch diameter. The flowers are small, greenish-white, and found on stems above the aerial bulblets. Flowering occurs during May and June.
Wild garlic is commonly found in poorly drained, fine-textured, fertile soils and thin turf areas.
