Europe, western Asia
Allium vineale (Liliaceae) is a perennial forb widespread in its native Europe and western Asia and introduced into North and South America and Oceania. Narrow, grasslike leaves 6-24 inches long arise from below-ground bulbs with fibrous roots. Flowers, when they are produced, are small (1/4 - 1") maroon, pink, or white-green borne on a globe-like structure atop unbranched stems. Although flowers are capable of producing viable seeds, reproduction is predominantly asexual through aerial bulbils and bulb offsets.
