A pretty and pink hardneck variety (a single row of fewer and larger cloves wrapped together in a papery sheath to form the “head” or bulb of garlic) with a sweet and subtle flavour.
How to care for garlic Edenrose:
Plant the cloves (pointy side up) 2cm deep from October to March (if frost permits) at 15cm intervals. Subsequent rows should be spaced at 30cm intervals. Gently lift when the leaves start to yellow, and leave them on the surface of the soil (or in a bright shed) to ripen before storing them in a light, airy position, which is dry and frost free.
Please note this is one head (bulb) that can be split up into several cloves before planting. You will usually get about 4 cloves from this variety of garlic when split up for planting.
