I’ve been letting this grassy plant slowly take over my yard and I haven’t been able to actually identify it. It has white flowers in late summer that bumble bees absolutely love. It smells like onions when you cut it and it tastes like onion as well except maybe slightly more mild.

Location: SE Minnesota

Not flowering:

      Looks like you got it. Thank you.

      Cool, I figured they were safe to eat but it’s good to know for sure. Also not even listed as being invasive. Definitely gonna keep spreading these because like I said in the origional post the bumble bees go absolutely nuts for them.

        I used to have garlic chives in my herb garden, before I moved. It’s handy being able to just go outside and snip up some oniony goodness for soup or what-have-you.
