Allium tricoccum Seeds (Ramps)

Ramps (Allium tricoccum), also known as wild leeks or spring onions, are a perennial plant native to North America. They have broad, glossy leaves and slender bulbs that have a distinct onion and garlic flavor. Ramps typically grow in moist, shady woodland areas and can reach a mature height of 8 to 20 inches. They are found in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 7. These plants are highly sought after for their culinary uses, and their popularity has led to increased interest in cultivating ramps. Allium tricoccum seeds can be purchased for those wishing to grow this flavorful plant in their own gardens.
