HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Wild garlic grows well in sandy or well drained soil and full sun, though it also tolerates moist soil and partial shade. For most efficient growth, buy wild garlic seeds and plant in the fall; the bulbs will remain dormant until early spring. Wild garlic bulbs can also be planted in early spring. Work the soil deeply, then place the tiny bulbs root end down and 3-4" apart, lightly covered by soil; for bigger clumps, plant three bulbs together.
Growing: Keep the seedlings moist until they have become established. Once mature, wild garlic tolerates some drought conditions. Wild Garlic spreads readily, and volunteer plants can be transplanted or removed quite easily. Apply a layer of mulch to control weeds and protect the plant from the cold over winter. Wild garlic also grows well as a container plant. As well as repelling deer, harmful insects, and moles, wild garlic attracts bees, butterflies and birds. Customers in MI cannot buy wild garlic seeds.
Harvesting: Both the leaves and flowers of wild garlic have an excellent flavor for use in fresh salads, entrees, or as a garnish. The leaves can be cut at any time of their growth, as soon as they reach a size above 6". The flowers have the strongest flavor at the height of their maturity. The wild garlic bulbs, which form on the stem after the flowers bloom, have a mild flavor and can be used raw or cooked; they should be harvested in the fall, as soon as they reach full maturity.
Seed Saving: Wild garlic grows best from its tiny bulbs, which form on the stem as the flowers fade. Collect the bulbs as soon as they mature, and store them in a cool, dry place in a container with good air circulation.
