Wild garlic (Allium ursinum) in P9 pot

Wild garlic is a robust, hardy perennial that is popular in wildlife gardens and edible borders. This shade-loving plant grows quickly in clumps and, in spring, forms a wonderfully fragrant carpet of green leaves and white flowers. The leaves, stems, and flowers are all edible and have a mild garlic flavor, making them ideal for pesto, salads, soups, and herb butter. Wild garlic attracts pollinators and spreads slowly via rhizomes, making it a natural, low-maintenance ground cover.

Please note: It may sometimes look as if you have received an empty pot, but the bulbs are still underground. They are quietly rooting there, ready to emerge in the spring. You can take the bulbs out of the soil and plant them in your garden, or you can wait until spring for the plant to appear above ground and then plant them.
