  • 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'.
