Also known as Wild Garlic, this ornamental and edible herb is prized for its subtle garlic aroma, delicate presentation, and versatility in cottage gardens, natural landscapes, and herb beds.
Perfect for pollinator gardens, Mouse Garlic attracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects while offering easy growth and low maintenance. Its mixed use as an herb and ornamental makes it a standout addition in culinary gardens, rock gardens, or as a border plant.
With edible leaves and flower buds, Mouse Garlic provides a soft garlic flavor for kitchen use and blooms beautifully in mid to late summer. This non-GMO seed variety is drought-tolerant once established and ideal for sustainable, naturalized landscaping.
