a.k.a. Ramps. A perennial wild onion is native to much of North America. Plants bear small, scallion-like bulbs with a unique, strong garlic and onion flavor. The bulbs are seeing increasing use in gourmet restaurants and are popular in certain local cuisine, both in the southern U.S., as well as Quebec. A short plant, growing to just 12-18". Freeze hardy.
Ramp plants grow best in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 7 and will grow in the same cool and damp conditions as wildflowers such as trout lilies, trillium, or ginseng. It is best to plant them after the early springtime or during late summer or early fall.
