The Sand leek ("Allium scorodoprasum"), also known as Rocambole, is a perennial plant of the family Alliaceae.

It should not be confused with Rocambole garlic, which is "A. sativum "var." ophioscorodon".

According to garlic grower Ron Engeland, "A. scorodoprasum" is edible but seldom cultivated, and has a shorter flower stalk and fewer and more inconsistently shaped cloves than Rocambole garlic. Sand leek also has a dark violet bulb wrapper. [Growing Great Garlic, 2nd Edition, Filaree Productions, 1992, p. 7.]

Elephant garlic (properly "A. ampeloprasum "var." ampeloprasum") is also sometimes incorrectly sold as "A. scorodoprasum".
