It is unclear where the name ‘Jack by the hedge’ came from. It is thought that it may stem from the slang ‘jacks’ for toilet due to its smell; when rubbing the leaves the plant releases a garlicky smell. Despite its other nickname, hedge garlic, it is botanically unrelated to garlic species. However, it was and still is often used in cooking.
