Perfect for pollinators

Wild Garlic or Ramsons -allium ursinum– is a woodland Wildflower native to the British Isles. Wild Garlic grows in dense swathes across woodland floors and can fill the air with the scent of it’s flowers from April to June. Ramsons will grow best on moist fertile soils that are rich in leaf mould and will tolerate some sun but generally prefer deep or semi- shade. In the wildflower garden, plants can be grown under the shade of hedges or small trees, and will attract bees. Wild Garlic looks best grown alongside other woodland wildflowers such as Bluebells, Primrose and Columbine. An alternative name for Wild Garlic is Ramsons.

How to grow Wild Garlic Seeds
Wild Garlic seeds should be sown in autumn outside, where they are to flower, and cover lightly with soil. Germination will normally occur the following spring. Wild Garlic will self-seed readily once established.
