Allium Ursinum | 9cm Pot

Will form a generous colony in record time. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy Commonly known as wild garlic, the aromatic leaves of this fast growing perennial can be eaten and used to flavour salads or sauces – or even as a substitute for pesto! Not only are the leaves edible, but the flowers are also pretty, and they will help attract beneficial insects. A British native, it is often found colonising deciduous woodland and hedgerows where it puts on an impressive display when in full bloom in mid-spring. Garden care: Keep contained if you do not want it to spread, otherwise over-large clumps can be lifted and divided in autumn or spring.
