Onion weed? I think that we need a bit more information :-)


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
Looks like a white bluebell and smells strongly when crushed. Allium
triquetum I think.
As I said, I'm working from memory here. Very frustrating :-)

Aka Ransoms or wild garlic. Dig it up or spray it seems to be the only way.
I rather like it so when I had it in a previous garden, I always kept some
of it. But it absolutely fills the verges of some of the lanes round here.

Thanks for the positive ID. If I thought it would behave itself in a
lawn, I might leave it alone, but I'm beginning to wonder if the
antiseptic properties might actually deter other plants. It certainly
looks that way
