Elephant Garlic is perfect for those who love a mild, slightly sweet garlic flavor with a hint of onion. Despite its size, this gentle giant is easy to grow and ideal for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike.
Best Practices for Growing Big & Yummy Elephant Garlic:
- Planting: Plant in the fall, 4-6 weeks before the first frost, for the best results. Space cloves 6-8 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil.
- Sunlight: Ensure your garlic gets full sun—at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as the garlic approaches maturity.
- Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer or compost at planting and again in early spring for optimal growth.
- Harvesting: Wait until the leaves turn yellow and begin to dry out, then carefully dig up your garlic. Cure it in a dry, well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks before storing.
Enjoy the satisfaction of growing your own jumbo bulbs, perfect for roasting, sautéing, or adding a subtle garlic flavor to any dish!
