Garlic Seed – Giant or Elephant Garlic
Price range: R35.00 through R120.00
Giant Elephant garlic is not actually a garlic, it is a member of the leek family that looks, tastes and behaves like a garlic. A mild flavoured garlic, much favoured as it’s easy to peel and produces impressively large cloves. Perfect for eating raw in salads. We’ve struggled with this one over the last two years as it tends to rot if it gets wet during harvest, but this year we had a good harvest.
R35 per head – ±4-6 cloves per head
R95 per 25 seed cloves
R120 per 50 seeds

Wickedfood Earth Farm garlic has become a highly sought-after product in South Africa, because of its high quality. We supply direct to consumers and to leading organic and health shops, as well as supplying organic, heirloom garlic seed stock to growers.
We grow 5 different varieties commercially, all with unique flavour profiles, from hot and very pungent, to sweet and mild. We are always on the lookout for different varieties, and in 2025 trailed a further 4 varieties, continually experimenting to see what grows best in our area as new varieties are released.
For seed garlic, we sell a combination of whole heads or loose cloves for planting – 50 cloves per packet (25 for giant). Clove count is based on an average and may not be exact as the cloves vary in size.
