(Bear’s Garlic, Bears Garlic) Bulb-forming perennial native to Western and Central Europe. This is the European form of ramps, a delightful woodland edible that can be eaten whole, usually lightly braised with other delicacies. Plant prefers cool moist shade and rich soils of woodland or shade garden. Sow seeds in the fall for reliable germination in the spring. Alternately, give 90 days cold, moist refrigeration, then sow outdoors in cool, moist shade. Long term and ongoing germination is typical, so the planting area should be well marked and mulched to limit weeds.

Excellent results with these seeds. I ordered them twice and I will order more. I use whole plant for salads, soups, pasta, sauces, pizza, omelets . The taste is a cross between onions and garlic, but not as heavy or pungent as garlic cloves. Very healthy and tasty!

Hi Betty, No, it needs a cold winter. Try Garlic Chives, very dependable in Florida. We also recommend the Egyptian Onions. Its hot in Egypt.

How about growing them in northern California (San Francisco Bay Area)? Thank you.

hi angela, we’re finding the bear’s garlic to be adaptable to a shade situation even in warm climates. the bay area is so very beautiful, and so forgiving for a wide range of plant species, i am sure bear’s garlic could be introduced to the shade garden there. r
