When the autumnal season shoots out its leaves in the spring, the flowering season is long over. Based on the crocus-like flowers you will not differentiate the poisonous plant of wild garlic. If you go to the forest to collect the herb plant, please pay attention to these distinguishing features:
Since the optical differences unquestionably open up only to an experienced bear's garlic collector, a smell test should provide final security. If wild garlic leaves are rubbed between the fingers, an intense garlic fragrance unfolds.
Smell test has its pitfalls
The distinction between autumn time lilies and wild garlic only to reduce the smell, holds a danger. After a few taster tests, the penetrating garlic scent sticks to your hands and fingers, so that you are led astray in further attempts. Keep an odorless autumnal time under the nose, but perceive supposedly a wild garlic aroma - with fatal consequences.
Grow wild garlic instead of collecting
In view of the deadly likelihood of confusion with autumn timeless, we recommend to refrain from collecting the herb plant in the forest. It is better that you grow wild garlic in your own garden and avoid any threats.
Tips
The leaves of lilies of the valley and the sometimes overgrown garden tulip also look similar to wild garlic. Both plants thrive in similar locations, such as the tasty herb plant. Although accidental ingestion of lily-of-the-valley or tulip leaves does not result in fatal consequences, severe nausea with vomiting occurs within 15 minutes.
