Notes
'Georgian Crystal' garlic (Allium sativum 'Georgian Crystal') is a vegetable grown for its mild, white bulbs. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Each bulb holds 4 to 5 cloves and stores for 6 to 9 months, and the subtle flavor suits picky eaters. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plants reach 18 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Soraya sunflower, Incrediball Blush smooth hydrangea, and Gardenia peony.
