Can I just be sure I have

Can I just be sure I have this right Stringfellow?  Buy the cloves around August, then they grow through the winter, put out flowers April/May, then harvest in June  — would that be roughly right?

I STILL dont understand why a clove would not grow at any time of year.  We lived in France and they grew year round. Maybe it is me being thick or just the difficulty in getting the cloves?

Thanks for your post.
