Notes
'Teddy' garlic (Allium sativum 'Teddy') 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. Its erect, fragrant growth suits a tidy bed or a large pot, and butterflies visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Cajun Belle pepper, and Asparagus.
