Notes
'Staro' garlic (Allium sativum 'Staro') is a vegetable for containers, low maintenance plantings, and food gardens. 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. Deer tend to pass it by. Its growth is erect and fragrant, so it fits easily into tight spaces.
Pairs well with Cucumber, Honeoye strawberry, and Oregano.
