Plant in fall and harvest in July  | Humongous  cloves | Mild garlic flavor 

Allium ampeloprasum

More closely related to leeks, Elephant garlic produces wonderfully massive heads with a mild garlic taste. We have been working on selecting this variety for a number of years and finally got a very prolific harvest of consistently humungous heads. Cloves have a thick, easy to peel wrapping and can be eaten raw, roasted, or sautéed to your hearts desire. Although Elephant garlic is a leek it is still cultivated the same way as garlic where individual cloves are planted in fall and harvested the next season.  We have also heard they can be cultivated like a perennial and left in the ground forming clumps. Let us know if you try it!

We have come to love the long straight stalks or scapes they put up with large bloom head. We have used these in flower bouquets and of course they can be eaten as well.
