Everwilde Farms - 1 oz Wild Leek Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Known as Ramps in the culinary world, leeks are considered a springtime delicacy. The mild bulbs have sweet onion-like flavor with a hint of garlic. It takes a few years of growing in a shady setting, but it is well worth the wait! In many areas of the country, Allium tricoccum plants are referred to as "ramps" and considered a springtime delicacy. Because of their early growth, the broad leaves of this plant provided Native Americans and early settlers with valuable vitamins and minerals after long winters. Thick patches of wild leeks grow in the shade of deciduous forests across eastern Canada, as well as in nearly every state east of the Mississippi River. The bulbs have a mild taste similar to sweet onions, with notes of garlic. Since gathering the tasty bulbs of wild leek has become a tradition, its presence in the wild has decreased. Cultivating new plantings of wild leek will help preserve this plant for future generations.|n|
