A.holmense seeds are fertile.

Summer drummer could be good.

Aglione is an Italian landrace published as A.a.holmense, but largely unknown by the rest of the world until very recently. It never produces bulbils, most flowers are white, and more leek-like scent than commercial elephant garlic.

In China we grow this but we do not know its name. The lineage in China is white-flowered and seemingly self-fertile(I got viable seedlings with flowers that seem true to type and I've no white flowered elephant garlic clones else nearby)

Hello!

I am an allium grower from China. I grew many alliums before, like tuberosum, ampeloprasum, sativum, fistulosum, caeruleum, macrostemon and etc.

I recently realized that something like Aglione has been grown in China no later than 2020. And that really  surprised me since almost literally nobody in China eat elephant garlics.
