A plant of moist woodlands native to much of Europe and northern Asia, traditionally gathered and eaten cooked or raw. It is also used in...Read More folk medicine. It resembles several poisonous plants, and in Europe poisonings occur regularly when the wrong species is eaten.
Very similar to the North American A. tricoccum, which is traditionally eaten and celebrated in the folk tradition of the southern Appalachians, and has the same common names.
The foliage disintegrates shortly after flowering as the plant goes summer dormant.
Spreads invasively both by self-sowing and by rhizomes underground. The species has been declared a noxious weed in Arkansas, though this may be due to ill-informed legislation. BONAP and the USDA Plants database do not show any states in which this species has naturalized.

In March I ordered thirty plants and was given a 15 day shipping window starting on April 17th. Being local, I wanted to pick up my plant...Read Mores. After calling and calling, I finally got through and Laurel told me that I could come and get them in a week. She also told me that they'd had trouble in the nursery and half of my plants weren't ready, but should be in another week. I decided not to wait and to go and get half the order, planning to return to get the rest a week later. She explained that she was doing the best she could but that I might have to take some substitutions.
I went to pick them up and a very personable woman confirmed that I should come back in a week for the rest.
It is now mid May, and I have been told that the rest of my order can't be filled because I placed my order too late. I can have substitutes for my original order.
So, my final review is mixed. the plants I was able to get are gorgeous and healthy. I am very happy with them.
But I now have to scramble 6 weeks after placing my order to get tomatoes elsewhere.I wish there had been better communication earlier, so I could have made arrangements to accommodate the change.
I think that Laurel really knows her stuff, grows exceptional plants, is very nice, but maybe needs to get some more office help.
Probably would have been a better experience if I had ordered fewer plants.
I will probably suffer through the pain of Tomatomania next year.
Hence the neutral review, but must say that her plants if you get them are beautiful and the transactions very pleasant. Just order super early and call a lot during office hours. If the voicemail is full, keep trying!!!!!
Again, nice lady.

Flowers April to June.
Native of woods and shaded meadows and happily spreads everywhere. The whole plant smells strongly of garlic and can even taint the milk of dairy animals if they eat it. Enjoys a damp, lightly shaded spot without too much competition. They will even tolerate boggy soils.
As you can see on my photos, Allium ursinum can be a very invasive species here in Austria, but thats ok, because it is a native plant here.

Just an FYI: reading up on this plant and saw it listed as a noxious weed in some areas- probably best to research before planting.
