Broad-leaved Leek

Allium nigrum

Allium nigrum, common name black garlic, broad-leaved leek, or broadleaf garlic, is a Middle Eastern species of wild onion. It lacks the onion or garlic scent shared by most of the other species in the group. The species is native to Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, and the Palestine region but cultivated as an ornamental in many other places. It has become naturalized in some regions, including parts of the United States.
