Mountain Leek
Mountain Leek
Mountain leek, found all over Laiyuan County, is one of the area’s unique local specialties. A perennial herbaceous plant growing to about 30 cm in height, mountain leek has a cylindrical bulb covered with fibrous, scale-like bracts. Its basal leaves are narrowly linear, 5–20 cm long and about 0.3 cm wide, with entire margins. The flowering stem emerges from the leaf cluster, bearing a terminal umbel of dark purple flowers.
