Osage

Traditionally maintained by Missouri's Osage Indians; some believe it to be a cross between A. sativum (European garlic) and a native species; naturalizes easily as a perennial. Bulbs generally small; abt. 8 cloves; green shoots appear in early fall and remain green all winter. Hardneck; reproduces by bulbils also. From CV WoodWoman Botanicals, Hartsburg, MO.
