Spring Planting Elephant Garlic
- Spring planting: Ideal for early-season planting.
- Large bulbs: Produces sizeable cloves for a generous harvest.
- Milder flavour: Sweeter and less pungent than traditional garlic.
- Easy to grow: Perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners.
- High yield: Enjoy four times the quantity at harvest time.
Elephant garlic is a striking addition to your vegetable plot. Closely related to leeks, this variety boasts a unique flavour profile, while maintaining the taste and aroma of garlic.
For optimal growth, plant your Elephant garlic in spring in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Ensure bulbs are spaced 20cm (8in) apart to allow for their dramatic height of up to one metre (3.5ft).
As they grow, they will produce attractive purple flowering heads, which should be cut when they emerge to encourage the best bulbs for eating.
The milder, sweeter flavour of Elephant garlic makes it perfect for roasting whole. Simply baste it with olive oil and roast in the oven for a creamy-textured delight, or enjoy it raw, grated into salads.
