Elephant garlic produces large bulbs and cloves with a milder flavor than traditional garlic, and a hint of leeks or onions. Each bulb can give up to six cloves and elephant garlic offers a free second harvest in the shape of tasty scapes in early summer.
The plants need a long growing season to split into the sought-after cloves, needing to be planted in fall to give you a great harvest of baseball-sized bulbs come mid-to-late summer.
