Notes
'Munstead-Type' garlic (Allium sativum 'Munstead-Type') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The fragrant plants are easy to care for and need little attention.
Pairs well with Honeoye strawberry, Super Chili pepper, and Holy basil.
