Elephant Garlic Vegetable Seeds- White

Elephant garlic seeds produce a large, cool-season perennial plant that is commonly grown as an annual in home gardens and small planting areas. The plants develop tall, upright foliage and a clump-forming growth habit, making them suitable for garden beds and raised beds. Elephant garlic is well adapted to temperate climates with cool growing seasons and performs best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. With proper spacing and consistent moisture, plants establish steadily and fit well into seasonal garden rotations.
