About Allium sativum (Garlic vegetable)

Allium sativum - It is a bulbous perennial plant known as garlic, growing up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) in height. If garlic is planted at the proper time and depth, it can be grown as far north as Alaska. It is a strongly aromatic bulb. It is the most widely consumed bulb after onion. Foliage consists of aromatic, linear, flattened, grass-like green leaves. In some varieties, a central scape topped by an umbel of pinkish-white flowers rises from each clump of leaves to 18” tall in summer. Garlic is typically grown as an annual in herb and vegetable gardens for its segmented bulbs which are commonly used in cooking. Family: Liliaceae
