Abstract:
Garlic grows well throughout the
Northwest. There are two types of garlic
frequently grown in home gardens:
Allium sativum, the more commonly
cultivated type, also called silverskinned
or Italian garlic; and Allium
ampeloprasum, usually called greatheaded
or elephant garlic. The latter is
more of a novelty because of its large
size. There are many special selections
or clones of each.
