Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Leningrad garlic thrives in well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Choose a sunny location, mulch heavily in winter, and avoid soggy conditions. Regular watering during bulb formation helps boost yields.
When to Grow
Plant Leningrad garlic in fall, about 4–6 weeks before the ground freezes. In warmer climates, late winter or early spring planting is possible. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Break bulbs into individual cloves and plant them pointed end up, 2–3 inches deep and 4–6 inches apart. Cover with mulch to insulate over winter and retain moisture.
How to Grow
Remove mulch in early spring to warm soil quickly. Fertilize with nitrogen-rich compost. Weed regularly and water deeply every 5–7 days during active growth. Cut scapes to encourage larger bulbs.
How to Save
Leningrad garlic is propagated from cloves, not true seeds. Here's how:
- Select large, healthy cloves from the outer layers of a mature bulb
- Avoid planting soft or damaged cloves
- Cure harvested bulbs for 3–4 weeks before storing
- Replant selected cloves annually for continuous harvests
FAQ
Can I grow Leningrad garlic in containers?
es, Leningrad garlic can be grown in containers at least 10 inches deep with ample drainage. Use a well-draining soil mix and space cloves 4 inches apart.
Do I need to remove garlic scapes?
Yes. Removing the curly flower stalks (scapes) in late spring directs energy into the bulbs, resulting in a better harvest. The scapes are delicious in salads, stir-fries, soups, pesto -- and you can even pickle them!
Is Leningrad garlic different from other hardneck types?
Leningrad garlic is a hardneck variety known for cold hardiness, bold flavor, and excellent storage. It produces a single row of large cloves with easy-to-peel skins.
