Notes
'Purple Glazer' garlic (Allium sativum 'Purple Glazer') is a vegetable grown for baking and its warm, sweet-edged flavor. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Plant it in fall and harvest in mid to late summer. The bulbs store well for months in dry, cool conditions.
Pairs well with Mango Tango French marigold, Old Mexico zinnia, and Zucchini.
