Ramps

About Ramps

Perennial wild leeks, usually found growing in shaded woodlands, that have inspired cooks for generations. Garlic-flavored with broad green leaves and deep purple to burgundy bulbs. The entire plant is edible, although if only leaves are harvested, the plant will produce a cluster of small white flowers in June. Harvest in early spring, but allow several years to establish before harvesting. Sow the shiny black seeds about 1" deep to increase your crop. West Virginia source.
