Allium ursinum Bulb

Allium ursinum, commonly known as wild garlic or ramsons, is a native perennial plant prized for its lush, broad green leaves and clusters of star-shaped, fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring. This woodland species thrives in shaded, moist environments with well-drained, fertile soil, often carpeting forest floors and shady garden areas with its vibrant foliage and delicate floral display. Allium ursinum is valued for both its ornamental and culinary qualities, as its leaves have a mild garlic flavour used in cooking. It is low-maintenance and naturalises readily, attracting pollinators such as bees and providing early spring interest. Its rich green leaves and striking white flowers add a fresh, wild charm to shaded garden borders and naturalised woodland settings.
