Notes

'Jeannine' golden garlic (Allium moly 'Jeannine') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. 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 or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Bees visit the blooms, and the plant is drought tolerant.

Pairs well with White phlox, Chocolate Soldier peony, and Virginia strawberry.
