Wild garlic is a winter perennial that grows from underground bulbs. The leaves are waxy, upright and needle-shaped, growing 8 to 12 inches long. Wild garlic leaves are also hollow, round and have a strong odor. The membrane-coated bulbs of wild garlic are flattened on one side and have bulblets. The white to light green flowers develop on short stems above aerial bulbs. Wild garlic spreads by bulb, seed or bulblets and flowers from April through June.
