Allium tricoccum / Wild Leek

A beautiful ephemeral groundcover and a coveted gourmet wild onion. Its straps of lush foliage evoke tulips or lily-of-the-valley. Wild leek (aka Ramps) leaves are edible for sustainable harvesting, as is the pungent bulb. Foliage goes dormant by June and is followed by flowers and then seed. Deer resistant.
