Product Description
Ail vivace de Caroline (Carolina Perennial Garlic)
3,78 $
Some seeds from this plant were gifted to us by a friend claiming that they were called ‘Ail de Caroline’. We do not yet know the exact identity of this plant, but we keep searching.
This small perennial plant is hardy in Quebec. It is very similar to garlic chives, yet it is not the same. The stems and leaves are slightly bigger, and have the same delicious taste as regular garlic and can be cooked the same way. Although it does not produce any significant underground bulb, the white base of this plant can be cut and eaten as garlic, just like the leaves.
Its purple flowers are gorgeous and are in bloom from July until the end of August, to pollinators’ delight. This plant is ideal for permaculture gardens.
Not to be confused with with regular garlic nor wild garlic.
Package: 80-100 seeds
