Garlic (Wild)
Allium ursinum
50 Seeds
A foragers favourite, the tasty leaves and flowers can both be used and have a delicious mild garlic flavour. The leaves in particular make a wonderful Pesto. Plants will spread to eventually form dense and leafy aromatic carpet. A hardy perennial, can also be grown in pots.

A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings individually to 8cm (3”) pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm (10”) apart. Harvesting: Pick fresh leaves and shoots as required from February to May, flowers May to June, the following year.
