Elephant Garlic Cloves 6 x Autumn Planting Cloves

Grow Giant Garlic Bulbs Mammoth bulbs with enormous individual cloves Dramatically bigger than standard garlic Milder, sweeter flavour, perfect roasted or used fresh Impressive plants growing up to 1m (3.5ft) tall Ideal for beds, large containers, raised beds and vegetable plots Elephant Garlic produces mammoth bulbs and enormous cloves, dramatically bigger than standard garlic and guaranteed to make an impression at harvest time. Plant in autumn in a sunny, well-drained spot and give the cloves plenty of room to develop into their impressive summer crop. For all that size, the flavour is surprisingly gentle. The mild, mellow cloves are delicious roasted whole until soft and creamy, sliced into traybakes or used fresh when you want plenty of garlic flavour without the stronger bite of traditional garlic. The plants are impressive above ground too, reaching up to 1m (3.5ft) tall and producing striking purple flower heads if allowed to bloom. Pinch these off to direct more energy into developing the bulbs, whether you're growing them in the vegetable plot, a raised bed or a large container.
