Jesuit House Garlic (Allium sativum var. ophioscorodon)
3.78 $ 3.78 $ 3.7800000000000002 CAD
**CAN'T BE SHIPPED OUTSIDE CANADA**When the Maison des Jésuites de Sillery, Quebec, began renovations, the gardener became concerned about the loss of a clump of garlic that had been growing there for years. He saved some bulblets that he took to Seeds of Diversity Canada. During the summer, we grew it. What was our surprise to see that the bulbils gave a large bulb of white garlic the first summer, and even a flower of garlic in September! And the flower of garlic appeared with multiple small green hairs of garlic growth. In addition, this garlic can multiply with several pebbles around the white bulb. In short, unknown name, nebulous origin, Jesuit garlic is an unknown variety that we are just beginning to know.

Carolina Garlic (Allium carolinianum)
3.78 $ 3.78 $ 3.7800000000000002 CAD
A friend gave us some seeds of this plant which he claimed was called Carolina Garlic. We do not know the exact identity of this plant, but we are currently researching it. It is a small perennial and hardy plant in Quebec, which looks like garlic chives, but is not! Its stems and leaves are a little larger, taste the same delicious as regular garlic and cook the same way. Although it does not produce large underground bulbs, the white base of this plant is cut and eaten like garlic, along with its leaves. Its purple flowers are magnificent and are a delight for pollinators from July to the end of August. Perfect in the permaculture garden. Not to be confused with garlic or wild garlic or wild garlic.
