Notes

'Oregon' garlic (Allium sativum 'Oregon') is an erect bulb. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Bloom time runs from early to late spring, with more flowers from early to late summer. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows at a moderate pace.

Pairs well with Soraya sunflower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Paul Scherer tulip.
