Seed Garlic -Elephant Garlic (Bulb)

Huge, some might say Elephant sized, cloves with tan skin and a mild flavour between true garlic and leek. Cloves are easy to peel and can be roasted whole, sliced and added to salads or chopped and used as an onion/garlic substitute. Some folks I know like to eat it sliced through a mandolin raw in salads - apparently its realllly good for you!

Plants have broad blue-green leaves with a central rib and tall flower stalks topped by large spheres of pink or purple flowers in summer and may produce numerous small bulbils around the main bulb; these can be eaten or planted to produce bulbs over two seasons. Or, it might grow a 'round' (single round clove) in the first year and flower and form bulbs in the second year. Plants will form a large clump over time. Very easy to grow and suitable for all climates including subtropical and tropical zones. Also known as 'Russian Garlic'.

Plant in Autumn and Spring (cold climates), Autumn, Winter and Spring (subtropical and tropical climates).

Harvest after flowers begin to dry.

Stores up to 8 months.

Dahlia Tuber Sales - additional information

Dahlia tubers will be available for sale online in late July as a pre-sale and then again in late August, until sold out. Email subscribers will be notified of the sale and we will also advertise on social media. Available varieties will be released on the day of the first sale and will be removed when sold out in order to help with navigation. There are very small quantities of many varieties so we are sorry if an item is sold out before you are able to navigate to it. Dahlia tubers are not shipped until eyes are definitely showing, guaranteeing you a viable tuber. Tubers begin shipping in OCTOBER, prioritising addresses in NSW and Queensland.  If any varieties that you order that do not make it through our storage, you will be contacted immediately and be given a refund. As you are ordering a specific tuber, we do not offer substitutes.

Whilst we do our utmost best to ensure our Dahlias are virus free, we do not test for virus and therefore cannot guarantee virus free plants.

We will not refund or replace any plants that you suspect of having a virus after they are planted outside of our property, as Dahlia virus can be picked up from many different sources.

Please email us within 48 hours of receipt (with photographs) if there is any issue on arrival of your order. Email to moore_kathryn@yahoo.com. We do not accept replacement requests by social media / text / instant messenger.

If you request 'immediate shipping' in our pre-sale, you accept that you are receiving a dormant tuber. We have identified definite eyes on dividing but these may not be visible on the tuber in its dormant stage. You are responsible for the correct storage and planting of the tubers from the point of receipt.

A QR code to a Dahlia Growing Guide is provided with your order to assist you in storing and growing your Dahlias successfully, however as is standard practice across grower, NO responsibility is taken by The Wild Garden for the tubers or their growth after you have received them. You need to monitor your tubers while they are being stored to ensure they stay in a viable condition. Every climate and soil type is different so it is very important you learn what works in your individual environment .Please note that tubers should not be planted until all risk of frost has passed, which at our farm is usually from October. It is a general national recommendation that Dahlias are planted the first weekend of November, but you can alter this to suit your own climate.
