Description
The bulbs are attached to a short rhizome. The light green foliage has a pleasant mild taste and remains decorative and edible throughout the season. It blooms with light pinkish-purple, hemispherical, 5 cm diameter inflorescences in July-August. The height of the inflorescences is 30 cm. In nature, the type subspecies is found in the areas around Lake Baikal, in Buryatia, Eastern Mongolia, Korea and Northeast China. Since the wild garlic has been divided into many small species by botanists, there is a lot of confusion in distinguishing them.
