The leaves don't look right for wild garlic. Could be wild leek.

It looks like a welsh onion to me Catty. I grew some last year and this looks very like them.

If that's what it is its a perennial and should clump up like chives (unless this was the only one...)

im still unsure, my mum has contacted the person that gave it to her and now they say its an elephant garlic! we are going to wait a few months and pull up some more and see whats on the end of it! thank you all for the help, will edit this question in a few months!

Its going to have to grow a heck of a lot more to be elephant garlic!

thats what i thought! the person is a gardener as well, its very confusing! i think its definitely some sort of garlic due to the smell of it but thats as far as i go!
