Localized, but sometimes abundant populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore:\u003c\/strong\u003e The onion-scented leaves are edible and this plant is over-harvested in wild habitats. Land development and invasive species as well as its popularity as a choice edible plant is putting considerable pressure on wild populations. If you harvest from your own garden (or anywhere else), DO NOT PULL THE PLANT UP. Clip one leaf per plant and leave the other leaves to nourish the bulb. Keeping the bulb in the ground ensures a continuing population. Give these plants a lot of space as they do not like competition. Seed germination is challenging and it takes 5-7 years before you can harvest from a seed-grown plant. A bare root plant will be able to be harvested in 2-3 years. These were bare root plants and I have been growing them on for 6 months (as of August, 2026). They leafed out well this spring and a couple even bloomed. Has also been used medicinally and can be toxic if consumed in large quantities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource: \u003c\/strong\u003eBare roots from Prairie Moon Nursery, grown on at Honey petal Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits: \u003c\/strong\u003eWikimedia Commons\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53966023196979,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/Allium_tricoccum_drawing.png?v=1788213067","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/allium-triccocum-ramps","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
