(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.

Hello, the germination rate is excellent but I have to tell you we cannot ship seeds to Brazil–the authorities in Brazil reject all seed shipments. richo

Hello Mike,
I’ve had best results with starting them outdoors but its certainly worth a try. You might give the seed a short moist refrigeration before planting, and use a peaty mix. Richo

Hello Sally, These are seeds for planting. Therapeutically, bear’s garlic has no particular advantage over regular garlic, which is widely available in grocery stores.
