Allium tricoccum

Ramps, sometimes known as wild leeks, are a truly ephemeral spring treat! This Appalachian native grows for just a few weeks in early spring, when its leaves and bulbs are some of the only fresh wild edibles available for harvest. Ramps' unique flavor falls somewhere between onion and garlic, and they are delicious when used similarly to onions in many recipes. A recent boom in popularity combined with a lack of responsible harvesting practices in some locations has endangered many wild populations of ramps. An ideal solution is to cultivate your own patch, if you are lucky enough to have the right conditions! Ramps are a wild, perennial, woodland species, so there are some special considerations when planting. These are not an easy garden crop, they are a long-term commitment, but so worth it if you can successfully establish a patch!

Please note: Because of very limited seed availability, and the short shelf life and extreme stratification requirements of ramps seeds, these seeds have not been germination tested, and are being sold as a "Botanical Sample." Each one-gram packet contains approximately 60 seeds.
