10 Seeds Wild Leek Allium tricoccum Woodland Ramps

Wild Leek (Allium tricoccum) is a woodland perennial native to eastern North America, prized for its broad green leaves and mild onion-garlic flavor. It emerges in early spring, forming dense clumps that naturalize well in shaded garden beds and forest gardens.

The leaves and bulbs are used culinarily in soups, pestos, and sautés, and the plant also serves as an attractive woodland ornamental. It grows slowly from seed and prefers cool, moist, humus-rich conditions.
