    It's lovely. If you mash it with some butter it's delicious on potatoes.

    Took some home and planted it along the bottom of the garden, just finished flowering and is spreading nicely.

    You may regret putting wild garlic in your garden as it will take over !

    If you want to plant wild garlic in your garden, it's advisable to do so in a semi-wild part, if possible, well away from any cultivated beds etc.
