I take the young flower heads and a bit of stalk off my elephant garlic and eat them as scapes. I dig up the plants while thy are still green as if you leave them any longer the cloves split up.
I must admit I am not keen on eating the cloves as they have a nasty bitter taste to me.In essence I only grow them for the novelty and hvae loads to re - plant and give to my famiy each year.
Because I still have loads left I may plant them in my garden at home and use them as ornamentlal onions?
I have never had any sucess growing on the small mini corms that always grow on them!
