Variety Information

EFN: A traditional cultivar/landrace of fragrant flowered garlic collected near the city of Qiqihar in northeastern China in 1956 by researchers with an expedition led by the German government-affiliated agricultural research institute at Gatersleben (Leibniz-Institut für Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzen. This species is native to northern Asia and appears to have a history of both wild collection and cultivation in that region, though it is quite unusual in cultivation in this country. It's reliably perennial to zone 5, and maybe colder. Both the flavorful leaves and flowers are eaten.
