Elephant garlic is, of course, a different species, Allium ampeloprasum. To
quote from

Elephant garlic is less pungent, but contains a pleasing delicate "garlic"
flavor that makes it ideal for use in fresh salads, casseroles, etc.

I bought some elephant garlic & also korean garlic to plant this year. The
former's cloves are bigger than most bulbs I have EVER seen.
