Ratings & Reviews
Garlic- Kangaroo Island Purple (Bulb)
I ordered these garlics in early autumn 2024. I wanted to try them for the first time as I usually try planting supermarket garlics but no success. Even though they sprouted and grew they were always small and pewny, or rotted in the ground. So this year I purchased these Kangaroo Island purples. This year my garlics were huge and better than shop bought. If I could've uploaded photos of them I would. I just pulled them out of the ground today 5th November 2024. If you want to try planting garlics, get them from the seed collection.
