Onion Weed

Asphodelus fistulosus

Asphodelus fistulosus is an upright herb which grows up to about 50cm high. The round leaves arise from the base and have an onion smell. The flower petals are white with a pink or brown central stripe.

Onion weed often grows in areas where the soil is dry and has been disturbed.
