Bear's garlic is a perennial plant growing up to 40 cm tall. The root is bulbous, the stem is straight, the leaves are mostly ground and petiolate, covered on the surface with a cuticle, which is why the leaves are smooth and light. The flowers of bear's garlic are white, small and often form an inflorescence in the shape of an umbel. The fruit is a capsule. The plant is native to the Caucasus and Eastern Europe, but over time its geophyte spread throughout Europe and Asia.
