Wild Garlic

[jc47]

I've obtained some wild garlic seed but do not have a clue how to germinate it. Is it treated like onion seed ? Any advice will be most appreciated.

Brilliant - where dd you get it?

There was a thread on here recently (well not that recently actually but this year lol) but I can't remember whether it was about germination - have you done a search? I imagine it's much the same as onions, chives etc.

Do let us know how you get on!

I Googled for you:
Sow seeds as soon as they ripe, either in situ or in a cold frame. Usually Wild Garlic sets seed profusely and germinates well. About wildflowers: Wild Garlic

oooh... where DID you get it? There's loads of wild garlic around here but my attempts at getting my own seed haven't worked. I LOVE the scent of wild garlic on a cold afternoon!

I was given one plant and have saved the seed, perhaps 100. I have tried sowing some as soon as were ripe but had no success therefore I welcome all suggestions.

I should try sticking the seeds in the fridge for a while before planting and scatter them I/2 in proposed position direct and half in a pot left in similar shady site.

still think it is easier to go out and pick some each year!
