Allium subvillosum, the Spring Garlic, is a European and North African species of wild onion native to southern Iberia, the Balearic Islands, Sicily, northern Africa (Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and the Canary Islands) and the Azores[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] where it might be introduced.[9]

Allium subvillosum is a bulb-forming perennial up to 30 cm tall. Leaves are long and narrow, with long white hairs clearly visible to the naked eye. Umbel is hemispherical, with 15-20 flowers on long pedicels. Flowers are white with yellow anthers.[10][11]
