Notes
'Common Mint' garlic (Allium sativum 'Common Mint') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance plantings. 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 tend to browse other plants first. Its fragrant blooms appear in spring and summer and attract butterflies.
Pairs well with Jimmy Nardello pepper, Celebrity Plus tomato, Honeoye strawberry, and Salad burnet.
