Notes

'Greek Oregano' garlic (Allium sativum 'Greek Oregano') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens, and it needs little care. 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. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows erect, has a fragrant scent, and attracts butterflies.

Pairs well with Basil, Winter squash, and Honeoye strawberry.
