The 4–10 simple, parallel-veined, gray-green leaves are flat and narrowly lanceolate, about 35 cm long and 0.5–2 cm wide. They enclose the lower half of the stem. Flowering time is in June and July. The golden inflorescences are hemispherical to spherical, about 4 cm wide with many pale yellow to greenish yellow, densely packed, cup-shaped flowers and a short bract . The pen stand out from the flower. The three pistils have become a top permanent ovary united and form a capsule fruit .

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 16.

The spicy yellow leek occurs from Romania through the Ukraine , Russia , Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan and Xinjiang in the extreme northwest of the People's Republic of China to Mongolia and Siberia . It grows there on meadows, wooded mountain slopes and in sparse forests. The plant prefers moderately dry, lime- and base-rich , well-drained soils in warm locations.

use

Sharp yellow leek leaves

The hot yellow leek is suitable in the garden for steppe plantings in sunny, warm places with drained soil . Since the plant is fairly tolerant of different types of soil and soil moisture , has a subtle flower color and is also edible, it can also be used in rock gardens , near-natural perennial plantations and cottage gardens , as a companion perennial in rose beds or as a useful plant in vegetable and herb beds . The plant is considered hardy to −18 ° C ( zone 7 ).

The plant is used in parts of Siberia in the kitchen like garlic and is also considered a medicinal plant .

Systematics

The first publication of Allium obliquum carried out in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus in Species Plantarum . P. 296. The species-specific part of the name obliquum means "oblique, crooked, twisted" and refers here to the twisted leaves , which is also indicated by the common English name twisted-leaf garlic . The species becomes the subgenus Polyprason Radić and within it the section Oreiprason F.Herm. counted. According to recent DNA analyzes, the two yellow-flowered species, Allium obliquum and Allium petraeum, clearly belong to the species group of Allium saxatile .
