Wild onion is a bulbous herb of the Amaryllis family and has a distinct onion odor. It has slender grass-like leaves and reaches about 2 feet in height. Leaves are narrow, long, and have parallel edges arising from the small underground bulb. Flowers, varying in color from white to pink, appear at the top of a leafless stem and eventually become bulblets, which drop to the ground and propagate. Flowers appear in late summer.
