I've been given 4 cloves of it, how do I store them until Autumn?

    I doubt they'll keep. Better to plant them - they'll probably grow, at least well enough so you can have some more to start again with in the autumn

    Yes, as they make a single large bulb, I'm not sure if they need the period of cold, like the  ordinary garlic does.  So they should enlarge if you plant now.
