Golden Garlic (Allium moly): Yellow Star Clusters

Allium moly, known as Golden Garlic or Lily Leek, is a cheerful, early-summer blooming allium from the Alliaceae family. It produces loose umbels of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers on 10 to 12 inch stems above gray-green, strap-like leaves.

Growing 8 to 12 inches tall, it naturalizes easily in well-drained soil, full sun to partial shade. The foliage has a mild garlic scent. Excellent for rock gardens, borders, or naturalizing in grass. Synonyms include Allium aureum.
