But do they produce bulbils with out a scape? If so then how? Soft-necked garlics form scapes (flower stalks) under certain growing conditions. The bulbils and/or flowers grow on a stalk. The stalk might only be an inch tall, and it might not even emerge from the leaf whorl, but it's still there. |

hello Richard, noticed this in some of my soft neck garlic the season before last - didn't take any photos though. Yes they are visible after harvest. Here's a link to a thread in another forum with photos forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/allium/msg0603583032605.html?5I kept the bulbils and replanted them but it didn't occur in any of my softnecks last year - it may have been triggered by stress, previous winter was colder, snowed more. |
