I grow Russian/Elephant garlic quite well in my mountain garden at Mount
Tamborine in Queensland, Australia.

I have tried a couple of times to plant the little brown "bulbils" that are
attached to the garlic bulb when dug at the end of season ..but no luck.

This year I soaked them in water overnight to see if that would make any
difference but none have appeared as yet.

Does anyone have a trick for getting these little "babies" to grow?

Thanks so much in advance for any help or advice....Danny


I grew elephant garlic last year and had several of these little, hard
bulblets. I typically just threw them away, but one evidently fell
off and stayed in that bed over the winter. Now I have a small
elephant garlic plant growing there. I'll let it grow this year and
re-plant it this fall with the rest of the elephant garlic.
