Garlic, depending on the variety, is usually a pretty attractive houseplant. It is related to Aliums, one of my favorite garden flowers. The foliage will be long and straight, like grass. If it starts to look scraggly you can give it a "hair cut" to about four inches and it will keep on growing happily. Given a sunny window and reasonable dirt to grow in, your bulb (the part you planted but would normally eat) will even bloom. Among the slender leaves, it will send up a bud that will bloom into a light purple (or maybe white) fire-works shaped flower. All bulbs have a life cycle that does best when given some time to rest. After it has bloomed, it may start to look kind of tired. You can transfer it outside any time the ground is soft enough to dig. Garlic is pretty hardy, and chances are it will do pretty well. They say garlic is a good companion planting for roses because it attracts the good garden bugs that eat a host of pests that will otherwise ruin your roses.

don't plant a "fist" (whole bulb.).plant a clove....garlic will grow about two feet in height and look like green onions...some chiefs prefer the garlic greens sprinkles than parsley ... make sure the pot is large enough to get a "fist"....in about 70-80 days remove from pot and let the fist cure in the air to firm up and it will look like the garlic from the store

It'll actually only flower, unless you have another plant outside to cross-pollinate it...it's pretty cute though...
Good luck!
