Allium neapolitanum is a perennial bulbous plant of the genus Allium, the onion family. It is native to southern Europe, north Africa, and the Middle East. It is classed as an invasive species in parts of the U.S.
Common names include daffodil garlic, false garlic, white garlic, flowering onion, Naples garlic, star, and Neapolitan garlic. It is cultivated by gardeners for its ornamental value.
