Planting and Harvest

Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, following the depth and spacing guidance supplied with your order. Separate bulbs into cloves immediately before planting. Softneck garlic is often suited to milder-winter regions, and its flexible stems can be braided after curing.

Bulb size, clove count, wrapper color, harvest timing, and storage life vary with climate, soil, planting date, and curing conditions.
