Thanks for your interest. It actually sends out little bulbs underground. I've never seen it develop bulbils on the flowers and honestly don't recall seeing seed either.
When I dig them, I find large bulbs as well as medium and small sized. Then there are tiny bulbs (?) which I don't currently have a photo. They are odd looking with a flat side on them and don't resemble the garlic bulb.
Your comment about it being a hardneck type is interesting to me. If I recall, that is indicative of the bloom?
I confuse myself with all the articles I've read but I believe this would normally be considered a garlic suited for the north. I am not sure it would endure your hard freezing winter ground though. Do you leave garlic in ground in winter?
