Notes
'Britton' garlic (Allium sativum 'Britton') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. 'Britton' garlic is fragrant and attracts butterflies.
Pairs well with Honeoye strawberry, Supersweet 100 tomato, and Common comfrey.
