Allium oleraceum, the field garlic, is a Eurasian species of wild onion.

It is a bulbous perennial that grows wild in dry places, reaching 30 centimetres (12 in) in height.

It reproduces by seed, bulbs and by the production of small bulblets in the flower head (similarly to Allium vineale).

The main stem is usually rounded, but is occasionally flattened, and bears two to four leaves and a terminal inflorescence composed of a number of small, stalked, pinkish-brown flowers and sometimes a few bulblets.

[8][9][10] In the United Kingdom, A. oleraceum is found in dry, grassy places, usually steeply sloping and calcareous soils, and on open sunny banks in river floodplains.
