Crowpoison

Crowpoison, Nothoscordum bivalve

Crowpoison, Nothoscordum bivalve, also known as False Garlic, is a cool season native perennial. In Texas, it is one of the first flowers to emerge during spring, and often flowers more than once. A member of the Lily Family, Liliaceae, it does not have a distinctive odor. Crowpoison is grazed upon by livestock, but does not make up a significant portion of their diet. Distributed among the southern states, especially prairies, it should not be confused with the invasive white garlic which also goes by the common name False Garlic.
