Notes
'Giant of Italy' garlic (Allium sativum 'Giant of Italy') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance growing. 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 rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant plants mature in 75 days and attract butterflies.
Pairs well with Fennel, Honeoye strawberry, and Salad burnet.
