I call this kind of garlic top-setting garlic or walking garlic. If you
plant the seed heads at the top now, they will grow into good sized heads
by next June, maybe earlier if you live in a warmer winter climate. I grow
lost of this and give many away. The bottom would have been mature when
the seeds matured and the foliage dries down. A family favorite!
