Description
Garlic Elephant Cloves (Autumn) are supplied as 5 cloves and are a popular choice for gardeners looking for an easy-to-grow, mild-flavoured alternative to traditional garlic.
Often described as being closer to leeks than true garlic, Elephant Garlic produces impressively large bulbs that can reach up to 15cm wide. It is naturally found in parts of Western Europe, including coastal England, and is also highly ornamental, producing tall, mauve flower heads in late spring.
Its flavour is soft, warm and slightly sweet, making it ideal for roasting whole, slicing into salads or adding to stews and casseroles. It can also be enjoyed as tender young shoots known as ‘scapes’, which are a favourite in the kitchen for their delicate taste.
Grown with care and backed by trusted British expertise, these cloves are easy to plant in moist, sunny soil and will reward gardeners with reliable results. They can also be grown in pots, making them a flexible choice for patios and smaller spaces.
