Allium canadense var. lavendulare

Showy Wild Garlic 

  • Average to moderately dry soils
  • Full Sun 
  • 12” tall, 4’ to 6” wide
  • Spring Blooms
  • Native to the USA mid-west, Thrives in meadow and garden settings

New to me, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/allium-canadense-var-lavendulare-showy-wild-garlic-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

Unlike the Canadian Wild Garlic, Allium canadense, native to this area, which produces bulbils at the tops of the blooming stems, rather than true seeds, this sub-species, native to the US mid-west, grows a full flower head and produces viable true seed.

As is typical for Alliums, these have edible leaves, flowers and bulbs. Their foliage appears very early in the spring and can be harvested like spring onions. 

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.

The Online Plant Nursery will re-open for orders on Tuesday, May 17th

Pickups will begin the following week.

I will be offering plug sized plants for $1.25 each or 5 for $5. 

I'm in the process of adding species that I expect to offer this spring to the listings since they are starting to germinate and I'm starting to get an idea of which will be available in abundant quantities.

Since the list is much longer this year I've added several categories to help narrow down your options based on a variety of criteria.

For those who have already adopted seedlings, planting instructions can be found here.
