American Garlic is also named Allium unifolium, The flower of Allium unifolium is a star-shaped, rosy-pink to lavender blossom, typically arranged in a dense, rounded umbel at the top of a tall, leafless stalk. Each individual flower has six tepals (petal-like segments), giving it a symmetrical, delicate appearance. The cluster can contain up to 30 or more flowers, creating a showy, globe-like display. The bloom appears in late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This species is notable for its single, flat, strap-like leaf, which contrasts with the many-flowered head.
