     don't be surprised if it does and for several years   
   after until the holly completely shades it out.   
      
     one thing about any allium family plant is that the   
   roots will attract worms (if they are around your area).   
      
     when i clean up the garlic and clip the roots and   
   stems off and also any dirt that comes off and extra   
   tunic (bulb wrapping) - all of that goes into the worm   
   farm here and the worms really like it.  same for onion   
   peels, etc.  i don't like to put a lot of onion stuff   
   in the worm buckets from when we cook, but if i can   
   dry it out completely that helps a lot.
