Current Facts
Botanically named Allium sativum, garlic is a member of the lily family along with chives, shallots and onions. Garlic is the common name dedicated to hundreds of varieties which can be classified as hardneck and softneck types. The softneck varieties are most common as they easier to grow, less particular about growing conditions, slower to bolt and generally produce more cloves per bulb. Green garlic can be of either the hardneck or softneck variety. It is the immature garlic plant that is harvested before the root develops into a bulbous group of mature cloves.
