German Garlic (Allium senescens), also known as Mountain Garlic, is a rare, cold-hardy perennial garlic that’s as beautiful as it is useful. This unique heirloom produces mild, flavorful bulbs and edible greens, perfect for culinary use. In summer, it sends up showy pink-lilac flower clusters that attract pollinators and add ornamental flair to herb gardens, borders, and food forests.
