A perennial, wild member of the onion family. The plant still occurs (rarely) in moist, shady places (deciduous forests), and its broad leaves with white, spherical flowerheads (30-40 cm high) are surprisingly beautiful! Therefore, it is best to plant them in a (partially) shaded spot; the soil type does not matter much, although calcareous soil is most appreciated. Leaves and bulbs are finely chopped and used in soups, salads, quark, and cheese. The flowers (edible even when ripe) are a bit spicier than the leaves, but in moderation, they make a nice addition to salads. Wild garlic is delicious in pesto and can be used in all sorts of ways instead of garlic, as the taste is milder. Noteworthy is its medicinal effect in many areas, including arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
When foraging, pay attention to the onion smell, as the leaves resemble the poisonous leaves of Lily of the Valley, Arum Lily, and Autumn Crocus.

Sowing method: 2-4 weeks in a warm and humid spot (seed swells), then place the seed tray in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks (germination hormones are activated), then put it back in a warmer place (germination follows). Sometimes this process needs to be repeated. Alternatively, you can sow outdoors in September, letting winter do the cooling work, and germination should follow in spring.
