Botanically, elephant garlic is more closely related to leeks than common garlic, which is why the flavor is sweeter, gentler, and less sharp than traditional garlic. The bulbs can grow very large, often forming a few oversized cloves around a central stalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eElephant Garlic is a perennial allium that can be grown year after year by saving and replanting cloves. If left in the ground, it can continue growing, multiplying, and producing new bulbs. Mature plants may also send up a flower or seed stalk. For the most reliable harvest, elephant garlic is usually propagated by planting the large cloves or the small cormels that form around the bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant elephant garlic in fall for the largest bulbs, or in early spring if needed. Choose a sunny location with loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Separate the cloves right before planting and plant each clove pointed side up, about 2–3 inches deep, with the base\/root end down. Space cloves about 6–8 inches apart, with rows 12–18 inches apart. Cover with soil and add mulch to help protect the cloves, hold moisture, and reduce weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing \u0026amp; Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElephant garlic likes full sun, steady moisture, and rich soil. Keep the bed weeded because garlic has shallow roots and does not compete well with grass or weeds. Water during dry spells, especially while the plant is actively growing and forming bulbs. If flower stalks appear, they can be cut off and used like mild garlic scapes, which helps send more energy back into bulb growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarvest when the lower leaves begin to yellow and dry down, usually in late spring to summer depending on planting time and climate. Carefully loosen the soil with a fork or shovel and lift the bulbs without bruising them. Let the bulbs cure in a warm, dry, shaded, well-ventilated area for several weeks. Once cured, trim the tops and roots, store in a cool, dry place, and save the best cloves for replanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eElephant Garlic is a great homestead crop for anyone wanting a mild garlic flavor, large easy-to-peel cloves, and a perennial allium that can be replanted and multiplied season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSHIPS IN SEPTEMBER\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yahuah's Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54088443461931,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/1456\/9771\/files\/signal-2026-07-07-12-43-06-957.jpg?v=1783463670","url":"https:\/\/yahuahsfarm.myshopify.com\/products\/elephant-garlic-1lb-ships-in-september","provider":"Yahuahs Farm ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
