Weeds
Wild Garlic
Cool-season perennial with slender, hollow cylindrical leaves. Leaves occur on the flowering
stem up to half the height of the plant. Underground bulb bears offset bulblets that are flattened
on one side and enclosed by a membrane. Flowers are greenish-white, small, on short stems above
aerial bulbils. Plant has distinctive garlic odor when crushed. Reproduces by seed, aerial
bulbils and underground bulblets. Found throughout most of eastern and southern United States,
West to Missouri and Arkansas. Also found in Canada, North Africa, and Europe.
Wild onion(allium canadense L.) is often found on the same sites as wild garlic. Wild onion
can be distinguished from wild garlic by presence of a fibrous coat on the central bulb, no
offset bulblets and leaves that arise near the base of a solid flowering stem.
