Elephant garlic is not generally propagated by seeds. Like regular garlic, elephant garlic can be roasted whole on the grill or baked in the oven, then used as a spread with butter on toast. Fresh elephant garlic contains mostly moisture and foams up like boiling potatoes, whether on the stove or in a glass dish in the oven.
By growing your own garlic, you can explore the diverse flavors garlic has to offer. Fall is the time for planting garlic in the garden. The bulbs will be ready for harvest early the following summer.
Allium ampeloprasum is a member of the onion genus Allium.The wild plant is commonly known as wild leek or broadleaf wild leek.Its native range is southern Europe to southwestern Asia and North Africa, [2] but it is cultivated in many other places and has become naturalized in many countries.
The flowering stem is cylindrical, growing to a height of 30 to 90 cm (12 to 35 in) and the upper half is leafless. The whole plant has an onion-like aroma. The inflorescence is a globular cluster surrounded by membranous bracts in bud which wither when the flowers open.
The inflorescence is an umbel of six to 20 white flowers, lacking the bulbils produced by some other Allium species such as Allium vineale (crow garlic) and Allium oleraceum (field garlic). [9] [8] [10] The flowers are star-like with six white tepals, about 16–20 mm (0.63–0.79 in) in diameter, with stamens shorter than the perianth. [8]
Allium vineale (wild garlic, onion grass, crow garlic or stag's garlic) is a perennial, bulb-forming species of wild onion, native to Europe, northwestern Africa and the Middle East. [2] The species was introduced in Australia and North America , where it has become an Invasive species .
Some lilies, such as the tiger lily Lilium lancifolium, form small bulbs, called bulbils, in their leaf axils. Several members of the onion family, Alliaceae, including Allium sativum ( garlic ), form bulbils in their flower heads, sometimes as the flowers fade, or even instead of the flowers (which is a form of apomixis ).
The good news for the milkvetch plant is that they usually need wildfire to sprout — meaning dormant seeds now have a massive new habitat for a new crop of the rare shrub.
