We have walking garlic that has been wild in the garden since the 70s when my parent's bought it. At times we would dig it up and thin and transplant. It seems to grow just fine, here. In the next month I am building a raised bed to keep the dogs out and make it more orderly with row planting.
I don't know garlic but it is probably purple stripe. I don't know where it came from, but the house has been greek owned since the beginning (50s) and the original owners had dates or figs and other Mediterranean crops. They dug up many plants and took them with when they moved, but the garlic, pear, and plum trees remained. The plum tree got black rot of some sort when I was a kid but the pear tree is still going at this point. Time will tell if the lantern flies destroy it.
