Sicilian Honey Garlic

Want an unusual plant in your garden? Try Sicilian honey garlic. With a botanic name derived from nectar, a drink of the gods, and skordion, garlic, you’re sure to impress your gardening friends. It’s easy-to-grow, loves the summer heat, thrives in sun in almost any soil, and is winter hardy to zero degrees. Plant bulbs 2 inches deep, and in late spring they will produce attractive white bell-shaped flowers on 30-inch stems. Watch out for the fragrance though; when bruised they produce an unpleasant aroma similar to onions.
