Overview
Wild Garlic Seeds, approximately 110 pcs, Allium ursinum perennial culinary and medicinal forest herb for the garden and shady borders

Wild garlic (Allium ursinum) is a perennial forest herb that has become one of the most sought-after culinary plants in gardens in recent years. It features wide, rich green, lanceolate leaves and beautiful star-shaped white flowers arranged in umbels at the tops of the stems. The packet contains approximately 110 seeds, which is a suitable quantity for creating your own permanent patch in a shady border, under trees, along a stream, or in the edges of the garden. In nature, it primarily grows in deciduous forests and is well-suited for similarly moist shady locations in gardens.

This herb is valued for its full aromatic flavour, which is similar to garlic but milder and less intense. It is widely used in modern gastronomy as well as traditional folk recipes. It is ideal for making homemade pesto (fresh pesto from wild garlic is a popular spring delicacy), in spreads, soups (especially spring green soups), cottage cheese, fresh cheese, eggs, omelettes, salads, on buttered bread, in herb butter, dumplings, and quiches. It is primarily harvested for young leaves in spring, when they have the highest aroma. For long-term storage, freezing (chopped into oil), drying, or processing into pesto is suitable. From a medicinal perspective, wild garlic has similar effects to regular garlic – it supports digestion, acts against high blood pressure, strengthens immunity, and has antibacterial properties.

Growing wild garlic requires patience and specific conditions. The plants thrive in shady to semi-shady locations with moist, humus-rich soil, ideally under trees or along walls. Seeds germinate slowly and require stratification – sowing is best done in autumn, when natural frost in winter aids germination in spring. If sown in spring, it is advisable to chill the seeds in the refrigerator for 2 months before sowing. In the first year, the plants produce small leaves, and full patches develop gradually over several years. Once a colony is established, the plants reproduce themselves through seeds and underground bulbs, creating dense carpets.

The packet containing approximately 110 seeds allows for the planting of your own patch, which will gradually expand in the following years and create a small forest border. For herb enthusiasts and wild cuisine lovers, this garlic is an indispensable element of the modern garden focused on healthy and unconventional ingredients.
