Hairy Garlic |
|
|
Hairy Garlic is a native of the Mediterranean region but is
grown in gardens in Britain. This one is an escapee since we
did not plant it.
The leaves are long and narrow with tiny hairs running along
the edge. When bruised they smell of onion.
The flowers comprise six white petals with a faint pink line
running lengthwise. |
