No seeds or cloves sold have been collected in the wild.
Ampeloprasum complex:
Leek clade.
The ampeloprasum Complex is a clade of species corresponding to leeks sensu lato.
It includes species closely related to Allium ampeloprasum , leek sensu stricto.
These species are numerous, with sometimes vague boundaries; they have often been subject to taxonomic revisions in the past, and will undoubtedly continue to be so in the future.
New ones are still frequently discovered in Central Asia and in the Arab countries of the Eurasian continent.
This list is therefore non-exhaustive: A. ampeloprasum , A. atroviolaceum , A. bourgeaui , A. commutatum , A. dregeanum , A. iranicum , A. scaberrimum , A. truncatum , A. tuncelianum (in this collection)
These species have perfect or partial sexual intercompatibilities between them.
They can have variabilities in their chromosomal number, whether at the intraspecific level or at the interspecific level, which gives rise to variable sexual compatibilities.
With the exception of Allium dregeanum , from South Africa, but which was introduced there several centuries ago; These species are found on the Eurasian continent and in the Maghreb countries. Mainly in dry and poor lands such as: embankments, scrublands, steppes, deserts and maritime cliffs.
_______________________
Allium ampeloprasum :
This species includes both cultivated and wild leeks, so it is very variable and is divided into two numerous subspecies.

Hairy Friend:
Origin: unknown.
Accession status: Cultivar.
Accession type: Clone.
Accession history:
Accession acquired by Joran's Seeds and Research in the form of cloves, in 2023, from Michael Camphausen, a German nurseryman.
Description :
An excellent perpetual leek, if not the best.
The plants have large pseudo-stems, comparable to leeks of the porrum subspecies: they can reach 3.5 to 4cm in diameter and 25cm high.
They are perfectly resistant to diseases.
And have a very high rate of vegetative multiplication: a well-developed plant produces around twenty medium-sized sessile cloves, and up to around fifty smaller ones and pedicellate cloves (which are difficult to differentiate).
They emit numerous shoots at the base and in the axils of their leaves before starting to flower in the second half of April.
Their spathes are long and massive like those of the subspecies porrum , as are their inflorescences densely furnished with flowers when they do not have bulbils. When they contain them, the bulbils emit foliage within the inflorescence, giving it a particular and ornamental appearance.
The flowers are pink with pink anthers and are sexually fertile.

Allium ampeloprasum var. bulbiferum Lloyd: Bulbiferous leek.
A taxon only attributed to a hexaploid and sterile bulbiferous accession present on the island of Yeu, in the Vendée department in France.
It is a cultural relic dating from prehistoric times.
_______________________
AABul#1: Leek from Ile d’Yeu
Collection location: Ile d'Yeu, Vendée department, France.
Accession status: Prehistoric cultural relic.
Accession Type: Clone.
Accession history:
This accession is well known to French botanists specializing in leeks. It was extensively studied, in a multidisciplinary manner, by researchers attached to INRA in the 1990s-2000s.
Like A. ampeloprasum var. babingtonii , it is a cultural relic, dating from a prehistoric era.
This small island, located 19km off the French Atlantic coast, has traces of human activities dating from around 3000 BC, notably dolmens.
Accession collected by Joran’s Seeds and Research in 2023.
Accession type: Single-individual clonal population.
Description :
The accession is hexaploid and sterile. It produces a large number of bulbils in its inflorescence, these are small (100 bulbils: approximately 11.6g) and are blackish in color (the only known case within the species).
It produces two sessile cloves, large (up to 17-18g), chestnut-shaped (wider than tall), with individual tunics.
Above, the rare case of an inflorescence without bulbils.
The plants have perfectly healthy foliage and a characteristic appearance: the leaves are smooth and light in color, they are long (up to 67cm) and relatively thin (4cm), and hang loosely.
The pseudo-stems are of good size for consumption since they can reach 3 cm in diameter and 45 to 47 cm in length. They have a pleasant garlic smell.
This accession presents a very clear preponderance for aromatic molecules with an allyl group (alliin and allicin), typically present in garlic ( A. sativum ), rather than for propyl groups, specific to leeks.
Bulbils grown one year produce small round bulbs 1.5 to 3cm in diameter, which are a very good substitute for garlic.

Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum : Great Headed Garlic.
The accessions grouped in this horticultural group have an unknown phylogenetic origin.
They have many common characteristics, the plants have foliage with longitudinal ribbing, and remain perfectly healthy.
Their bulbs are composed of at least 5 sessile cloves, of identical size, and regularly arranged; in a crown, and wrapped in a papery tunic.
The cloves can reach very large dimensions and weigh 80 grams each (compared to 3 to 4g for a garlic clove), the entire bulb can therefore reach around 500g.
These accessions also have the common characteristic of having a garlic smell. Linked to the presence of volatile sulfur substances with an allyl group (alliin and allicin), typically present in garlic ( A. sativum ), rather than propyl groups, specific to leeks.
They are therefore very interesting substitutes for garlic ( Allium sativum ), especially where its cultivation is complicated due to a climate that is too cool and humid.
Their pseudo-stems also make very good leeks, since they can reach 3 cm in diameter and 50 cm in height and have a very pleasant garlic taste.
The vast majority of these accessions are hexaploid and sterile.

Allium ampeloprasum var. holmense : “Oerprei”
Oerprei is a type of traditional Dutch leek. In Dutch, “Oer” means primitive and “prei”: leek.
These are very good perpetual leeks, combining good yield with great ease of cultivation and perfect resistance to disease.
These are often clones of the same accession, #1.
However, after comparing 6 accessions, 2 different clones could be identified.
They only differ in slight details.
The plants have keeled, smooth and stiff foliage, with an erect habit, glaucous gray in color, and remaining perfectly healthy. The pseudo-stems are almost similar in size to leeks of the porrum subspecies since they can reach 3 cm in diameter and 23 cm in length.
In addition, this horticultural group has a high rate of vegetative multiplication. The bulbs are composed of 15 to 20 sessile cloves, of variable sizes, without tunic. They are arranged in a staggered pattern, giving the bulb an artichoke appearance.
Their flowering is very late, in mid-July. Their inflorescences are composed of purple and white flowers, with purple pedicels and anthers.
They have perfect sexual fertility.

Oer#3:
Origin: Netherlands.
Accession status: Old local cultivar.
Accession type: Clone.
Accession history:
Accession acquired by Joran's Seeds and Research in the form of bulbs, in 2023, under the name ' Allium ampeloprasum var. holmense ’ from Michael Camphausen, a German nurseryman.
Description :
The plants have healthy, keeled, erect and stiff foliage, of a blue-gray color. And the pseudo-stems are of good size for consumption, they can reach 3 cm in diameter and 23 cm in height before starting to flower.
This accession is a little more sensitive to rust than the other Oerprei presented (in the sense that it showed slight traces of rust while the others did not). The cloves held together better when harvested late than #1, and they are perhaps fewer in number (?).
1 clove for €2
30 seeds (open pollination) for €6
Derivatives of the Oerprei group:
These accessions seem to have as a common ancestor Oerprei ( Allium ampeloprasum var. holmense ), because they have morphological similarities whether it is their type of gray and erect foliage, their artichoke type bulbs, or in their flowering (morphology/color of the inflorescence or late flowering period).

DOer#4: ‘Oberwil bei Büren’
Origin: Oberwil, Switzerland.
Accession status: Old local cultivar.
Accession Type: Clone.
Accession history:
This accession was grown in the town of Oberwil in Switzerland in the 1940s.
Plants were preserved in Nennigkofen, a Swiss locality in the canton of Solothurn, located in the district of Bucheggberg.
It was then preserved by ProSpecieRara, a “Swiss foundation for heritage and genetic diversity linked to plants and animals”.
Then, in 2023, it was acquired by Joran's Seeds and Research, in the form of plants, from the Swiss nursery Homatt, specialized in varieties of old and rare plants, and which participate in the preservation and production of the collection of ProSpecieRara plants.
Description :
This accession has keeled, smooth, glaucous gray-green leaves and is perfectly resistant to rust. The plants are large for this horticultural group.
They emit emissions at their base during their growth.
The bulbs are made up of 15 to 30 cloves, of very variable sizes on the same plant. They are arranged flat and distributed in an anarchic manner. Unique feature in the collection.
When it flowers (1 plant in 10 in 2024, the others have dried out without flowering), their spathes are long and flowering is particularly late (mid-July). Its tepals are purple and white, and its stamens are pink.
Its flowering is simultaneous with that of Oerprei and A. commutatum (AC#1); accessions with which it also has great morphological similarities (foliage, spathes, diameter and color of inflorescences).
Within my collection, Oberwil bei Büren and Oerprei have very atypical morphologies and flowering behavior. But they are very similar to each other. This leads me to think that they have a monophyletic origin.

DOer#5: ‘Summer Drummer’
Origin: Netherlands.
Accession history:
Recorded by Mts Mellema-Versteeg in 2006.
Accession status: Contemporary horticultural cultivar.
Accession Type: Clone.
Description :
Widespread cultivar, marketed for ornamental use. However, the plants have very good potential as a vegetable plant.
The plants gain height very early, their pseudo-stems are long and thin, and can even reach sizes larger than those of leeks that can be found commercially. Since they can reach hip height.
They produce two large sessile cloves per plant, wider than they are tall, they wear a tunic. Its pedicelled cloves are large (around 1cm3) and number 2 to 5 per plant.
The outer sheath of the pseudostem is purplish in color.
The plants begin flowering at the beginning of April, their inflorescences bloom from mid-July.
They are very large, they can reach 13-14cm in diameter, and are dark purple and white in color. They are perched at the top of flower stalks that can reach 1.80m to 2.20m and also have a purple tint.
Comments from the selectors: Mts Mellema-Versteeg, on their website:
“The new allium "Summer Drummer", which we grow, but which is entirely owned by Boltha BV from Breezand and W.van Lierop & Sons BV from Anna Paulowna.
We managed to select a particularly beautiful specimen from a natural cross of, among others, Allium ampeloprasum (wild leek).”
The recorded colors of 'Summer Drummer' are RHS 71A and 155D.
I would interpret it as a hybrid between Allium commutatum and A. ampeloprasum var. holmense type Oerprei.

Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum : Western leek
This is the cultivated leek in contemporary common sense.
This biennial subspecies, propagated only sexually, appeared recently, probably during the 17th century, in Western Europe.
Leeks of this subspecies still occasionally produce cloves and can become perennial plants again after a few generations of selection (JAUZEIN & TISON 2005).

AAPo#1: 'Deft Perpetual'
Origin: State of Oregon, United States of America.
Accession status: Contemporary cultivar subject to OSSI commitment.
Type of accession: Stabilized population.
Accession history:
Population selected by Frank and Karen Morton, breeders and seed merchants, owners of Wild Garden Seed, in Oregon, USA. Cultivar marketed from 01/01/2019 and subject to the OSSI (Open Source Seed Initiative) commitment.
You have the freedom to use seeds subject to an OSSI commitment as you wish. In exchange, you agree not to restrict the use of these seeds or their derivatives by third parties by patents or other means, and to include this commitment in any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives.
Accession acquired by Joran's Seeds and Research in seed form, in 2020 from Frank Morton, in his Wild Garden Seeds nursery.
Description :
Frank Morton's description:
Selected from the 'Delft' variety for its propensity to self-propagate by cloves of garlic-like suckers around the root plate. A true 'permaculture leek' if harvested by carefully cutting the leek above the root or allowing unharvested leeks to flower before cutting. New leeks appear in clumps around the base of each mother plant, forming long, tender stems in fall.

Allium ampeloprasum var. sectivum : Pearl onions
The horticultural group of “pearl onions” is cultivated for its cloves, notably used as condiments, preserved marinated in vinegar, to decorate jars of pickles, and others.
They were frequently cultivated in Europe, before disappearing during the twentieth century in favor of mechanization and sexually propagated onions ( A. cepa ).
A few rare cultivars were nevertheless able to be saved.
This group is polyphyletic and very heterogeneous.
The cultivars that make it up are characterized by the production of numerous small cloves (more than 10) and by pseudo-stems of very small size, unusable for consumption in the form of “leeks”.
Some were obtained under other names and placed in this group by myself, because they had these characteristics.
Their small size is undoubtedly one of the reasons for their disappearance, because they very quickly become victims of weeding.

AAS#2:
Origin: Switzerland.
Accession status: Old local cultivar.
Accession Type: Clone.
Accession history:
Accession obtained by Daniel Rühlemann, the owner of the German nursery Rühlemann's Kräuter und Duftpflanzen, in a Swiss nursery.
Accession acquired by Joran's Seeds and Research, in the form of plants, in 2023, from the German nursery Rühlemann's Kräuter und Duftpflanzen where it was sold under the name Ausdauernder Lauch (translation: Perennial Leek).
Description :
This accession produces very small plants. They produce 10 to 20 small sessile cloves and numerous very small cloves. The plants remain perfectly healthy.
They seem to be able to avoid summer dormancy, since new green tips of foliage emerge from the ground during flowering. I am sure that in wetter and cooler conditions than mine they would thrive.
They grow very early in the fall.
The bulbs are made up of more than thirty small cloves; arranged in an artichoke shape.
These plants have long spathes, they begin flowering at the beginning of May. The inflorescences bloom at the beginning of July. They are small and are composed of white flowers.
It is said by Rühlemann's Kräuter und Duftpflanzen that it flowers very rarely. However in 2024 (a special year, since it is extremely humid), even if it is true that not every plant has flowered, a non-negligible proposition has flowered and it has shown itself to be sexually fertile.

Description :
These plants are small, but have a very strong capacity for vegetative propagation, which is why this cultivar is classified among the Allium ampeloprasum var. section .
This accession is sensitive to rust, it produces very small bulbs, organized like an artichoke, and composed of 10 to 25 small sessile cloves (around 1cm in diameter). And many smaller cloves, of which it is difficult to differentiate the sessile cloves from the pedicellate ones. They do not wear tunics.
They begin flowering at the beginning of May. Their spathes are long and imposing like those of the porrum subspecies.
Their flowers are white, like the original line, however these are rare because this accession almost systematically produces green bulbils in its inflorescences, sometimes on several levels, and producing thick foliage.
The accession was obtained in this way, it is probably the result of a virus. Whatever its origin, this characteristic brings additional interest to this lineage.
The aerial bulbils are close in size to those underground. The combination of the two makes it a truly prolific accession.
It is therefore particularly suitable for the production of small cloves to preserve in vinegar, to decorate jars of pickles, and others.
It has low sexual fertility as such, but this can be improved by removing the bulbils early.
Its seeds are small and round.

Accession status: Contemporary horticultural cultivar.
Accession Type: Clone.
Accession history: No information.
Description :
A popular cultivar for the use of its cut flowers, its inflorescences produce an abundance of very small bulbils producing fine foliage.
These plants are small, and are very susceptible to rust.
I class this cultivar among the Allium ampeloprasum var. sectivum because they have a strong capacity for vegetative multiplication, they produce around ten sessile cloves, of small to medium size, devoid of tunic. And 1 to 3 pedicellate cloves, of small size.
Their spathes are long, the flowers are unusually open for the species.
Sexually fertile.

Allium ampeloprasum subsp. polyanthum : Vine leek
The subspecies polyanthum is endemic to France, Spain and Portugal.
If isolated individuals can be found almost everywhere in these countries, particularly on dry slopes and in vineyards; the largest populations develop along their Atlantic and Mediterranean facades.
This subspecies is characterized by short spathes, low density inflorescences, with a slender shape (not spherical), light pink in color, and pollen of generally low viability.
They produce two sessile cloves with individual tunics and 3 to 5 pedicellate cloves, convex in shape and of medium size.

Hybrids between A. commutatum and A. ampeloprasum :
Such hybrids have been identified around the Mediterranean Sea. In 2005, four stations were listed in France: one in the commune of Marseille, one in Saint-Tropez, and two in Corsica.
They were studied in a multidisciplinary manner by Philippe Jauzein and Jean-Marc Tison who reported similar genotypes, with 2n = 24 (JAUZEIN & TISON, 2001).
The species of the ampeloprasum complex present variability in their number of chromosomes, whether at the intraspecific level or at the interspecific level, which gives rise to variable sexual compatibilities.
These 2n = 24 hybrids are assumed by Jauzein and Tison to come from A. commutatum at 2n = 16 and from A. ampeloprasum subsp. polyanthum at 2n = 32.
This species, partially interfertile with Allium ampeloprasum , constitutes a very interesting genetic resource for him.
This species is robust and very resistant to drought and salt. Its bulbs and cloves are very well packaged, which is a desirable characteristic in perpetual leeks because it improves the conservation of the bulbs after harvest, a characteristic they lack.

More recently, on 06/22/2015 this accession was identified and referenced in the inventory of flora of the Bouches-du-Rhône department by Errol Vela. French botanist from the Bouches-du-Rhône department, and specialist -among others- of the genus Allium, under the name Allium commutatum x Allium porrum.
Accession collected by Joran's Seeds and Research in the form of cloves and seeds, in 2024, on the stony slope overlooking Sainte Estève beach. The hybrids were found in the presence of their parental lines.
Description :
The cloves are of an intermediate morphology between the two parents: the tunics are leathery and shiny (a little duller than AC#2), with a long point similar to AC#2, however the papery tunic remains systematically attached to the back of the cloves. cloves (whether sessile or pedicellate) as in their parent AAP#18.
Its outer tunics alternate between leathery, papery, leathery… around the bulb.
Its pedicellate cloves are approximately 5 in number, and have a shape different from that of its parental lines, almost round in shape compared to AC#2 and more swollen and hemispherical.
Several hybrid individuals appear to have been collected.
Karyology: 2n = 24 (JAUZEIN & TISON, 2001).

Allium tuncelianum : Tunceli garlic
This species has a very small distribution area, limited to the Tunceli province in Türkiye.
Victim of excessive wild harvesting, the species has become rare.
Its bulbs smell of garlic, and their flower stalks curl at the time of flowering, characteristics similar to A. sativum ; but they produce pedicellate cloves, and do not produce bulbils in their inflorescences, making them perfectly sexually fertile, characteristics similar to species in the ampeloprasum complex.

Sativum complex:
Garlic clade.
Allium sativum : Cultivated garlic
Garlic has long been considered sterile.
Many don't even produce flowers. Only two taxa of garlic bear flowers and can be described as “hardneck”:
Allium sativum subsp. longicuspsis : wild accessions particularly characterized by long spathes.
Allium sativum subsp. sativum var. ophioscorodon : cultivated forms.
In 1875, Eduard Regel described previously unpublished flowering characteristics in certain wild garlic accessions, which suggested that some accessions might be capable of producing seeds.
As early as the 1950s, research groups in the former Soviet Union reported limited success in producing a few seeds from garlic strains native to Central Asia. In the 1980s, limited production of garlic seeds was reported in Japan, Germany and the United States.
Early experiments with garlic seeds required a lot of work and yielded very few seeds.
Today, millions of viable garlic seeds have been produced by researchers and food companies, mainly for experimental purposes.
From the end of the 1990s, in the United States, amateurs initiated a revival in the world of garlic:
Ivan Buddenhagen, retired from a career in variety development, began working on the development of sexually fertile garlic as a hobby. From genetic material obtained from the American USDA national collection he began to develop his own lines.
Around 2005, Avram Drucker and Ted Meredith, other Americans, also began working on sexually fertile garlic.
In 2010, Avram Drucker and Ivan Buddenhagen met by chance at an agricultural fair. Ivan Buddenhagen, more advanced than them, provides them with advice as well as a bulk of seeds resulting from his work.
Between them, they formed the basis for the independent development of sexually fertile garlic through the referencing and provision of numerous accessions of sexually fertile garlic and the development of numerous new lines possessing superior sexual fertility.
However,
Since cloves cannot be legally exported from the United States of America, and their stocks are still limited, these lines are extremely difficult to obtain on the European continent.
Joran's Seeds and Research strives to acquire the largest collection of sexually fertile garlic in order to make it available on the European continent.

Scorodoprasum complex:
The Scorodoprasum Complex is a clade that includes two species: Allium scorodoprasum and A. rotundum.
These two species have been used in human food in Western European countries, and are still used today, particularly in Türkiye.
This clade is related to the Ampeloprasum Complex but these species are distinguished by the purple, almost black coloring of the integument of their sessile, pedicellate cloves and their bulbils.
This clade, but Allium rotundum in particular, could constitute genetic material making it possible to obtain leeks producing colorful cloves, however, no hybrid between these clades is referenced in the scientific literature.
Creating such hybrids is part of Joran's Seeds and Research projects.
_______________________
Allium rotundum : Rounded garlic
This species, whose foliage is very similar to that of leeks sensu lato , is distinguished in particular by the production of cloves (sessile and pedicellate) having a purplish, almost black integument.
Sister species of A. scorodoprasum , from which Allium rotundum is distinguished by its inflorescences without bulbils.
