Elephant Garlic is a showstopper in any vegetable plot, known for its impressive size and unique flavour. While it's more closely related to leeks, this variety provides a distinctly garlic-like taste, aroma, and growth pattern.

For the best results, plant your Elephant Garlic in autumn in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Space the bulbs 20cm (8in) apart to allow ample room for growth. This dramatic plant can reach up to a metre (3.5 ft) in height, making it an eye-catching addition to your garden.

As an added bonus, Elephant Garlic produces stunning purple flowering heads. For optimal bulb development, it’s best to cut these flowers when they emerge.

The flavour profile of Elephant Garlic is milder and sweeter than traditional garlic, making it an excellent choice for roasting whole. Try basting it with olive oil and roasting it in the oven for a creamy, delicious vegetable. Alternatively, you can enjoy it raw, grated into salads for a subtle garlic kick.

How to Guide

Planting Garlic

Prepare the ground with our Pre-Planting Onion, Garlic & Shallot Fertiliser to ensure strong bulb development and growth, early ripening and maturity, good skin and bulb firmness.

Place the cloves in the soil with their tips around 2.5cm (1in) below the surface. Space them about 15cm (6 inches) apart. Keep rows around 30cm (12 inches) apart.

If the weather is particularly wet, or soil very heavy, start cloves in modules in a greenhouse or under other protection until conditions improve.
