5 Ramps Wild Leek Bulbs, Organically Grown Allium tricoccum Bare Root for Planting
Ramps, also known as wild leeks, are a beloved woodland perennial prized for their broad green leaves and distinctive garlic-onion flavor. Allium tricoccum emerges in early spring, carpeting shaded garden beds and forest floors with fresh green foliage before sending up delicate white flower clusters later in the season. These organically grown bare root bulbs are a wonderful choice for shade gardens, woodland plantings, and native plant enthusiasts looking to establish a lasting springtime patch.
Ramps are slow to establish but rewarding, gradually forming attractive colonies when planted in conditions that mimic their natural woodland habitat. They pair well with ferns, trilliums, and other shade-loving natives.

Planting & Care
Plant bare root bulbs in a shaded spot with loose, humus-rich soil that drains well but holds moisture. Set bulbs at a shallow depth with the pointed end up, and water thoroughly after planting. Mulching with leaf litter helps retain moisture and mimics the woodland conditions ramps prefer.
Keep the soil evenly moist during the first growing season while plants establish. Avoid letting the site dry out completely, and allow foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy. With patience and the right shade conditions, ramps can gradually spread into attractive colonies.
