Notes

'Lovage' garlic (Allium sativum 'Lovage') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. Garlic is ready in about 90 days.

Pairs well with Cajun Belle pepper, Thai basil, and Spaghetti Squash.
