Notes
'Mexican Mint Marigold' garlic (Allium sativum 'Mexican Mint Marigold') is a vegetable for container planting, low maintenance beds, and food 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 sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer tend to pass it by. The erect, fragrant plants bloom in early to late spring and again in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Cajun Belle pepper, and Marmalade coral bells.
