Notes
'American Ginseng' garlic (Allium sativum 'American Ginseng') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its fragrant blooms open in spring and summer, and butterflies visit them.
Pairs well with Ancho pepper, Lovage, and Honeoye strawberry.
