Big, fat, not too strong cloves from plants that grow 4'tall with huge pompom flower heads that the bees love.I was at the local market today and bought a head of Elephant garlic off a stall holder. It cost me 2 squid but I have six large cloves to plant from it.
Mine are still in the ground as I'm enjoying the flowers too much!!
I leave or replant the smallest cloves immediately as I want to grow a big Elephant Garlic patch to rival the big perennial leek patch (they look very similar.)
I also have some of my own grown elephant garlic which is not much bigger than normal garlic and a load of small cormlets from it which I have planted as well.
