Elephant Garlic is not a true garlic and is actually closely related to the leek, however, it is grown just the same as garlic and has the same culinary uses. Elephant Garlic, is so called as it produces jumbo bulbs up to 4in across.

The flavour of Elephant garlic is sweet and mild, unlike the more familiar kinds, giving it many more culinary uses. It can even be sliced raw and added to salads. The large and juicy cloves are also lovely when roasted. It is highly ornamental too with beautiful flower heads up to 5ft/1.5m tall.

Elephant Garlic is great for those who want a milder, sweeter taste.

Plant from September to November and harvest June to July, or when required. Garlic can be planted in both the Autumn, for an earlier crop, and Spring for latter cropping.

Pack of two cloves.
