A fellow Amaryllidaceae — similar growing habits to Garlic
Garlic is usually grown from bulbs rather than seed. Plant bulbs pointed-end up at roughly two to three times their own depth.
Chrysopidae
Golden-eyed adults that mostly drink; larvae that hunt like small alligators.
Water: Medium · Height: 60 cm · Soil: Loose, well-draining, fertile — waterlogged soil causes rot
