Elephant Garlic Cloves 6 x Cloves

Grow Giant Garlic Bulbs Mammoth bulbs with enormous individual cloves Mild, mellow flavour that's fantastic roasted Impressive plants growing up to 1m (3.5ft) tall Attractive rounded purple flower heads Ideal for beds, raised beds and large containers If you want something a bit different in the veg plot, Elephant Garlic certainly delivers on size. Plant one of the substantial cloves in spring and it develops into an impressive bulb made up of just a few enormous cloves – considerably larger than those you'd find in standard garlic. Despite its name, Elephant Garlic isn't actually a true garlic. It's more closely related to the leek, although it forms a bulb and can be grown and used in much the same way as garlic. Its flavour is noticeably milder and sweeter, which makes those huge cloves particularly good for roasting whole until soft and mellow. There's plenty going on above ground too. Plants can reach around 1m (3.5ft) tall, with broad leaves and tall flower stems topped by rounded purple blooms if allowed to flower. Give it plenty of space in a sunny bed, raised bed or large container and you've got an impressive crop from top to bottom.
