Notes

'Common Sage' garlic (Allium sativum 'Common Sage') is a vegetable for container growing, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. 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. It grows erect and has a fragrant scent. Deer tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Jimmy Nardello pepper, Celebrity Plus tomato, Salad burnet, and Asparagus.
