Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Music garlic is a hardy, easy-to-grow hardneck variety known for its robust, spicy flavor and large cloves. It thrives in well-drained, sandy, loamy soil with a pH between 6 and 8. This garlic prefers full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Regular watering is essential, but be careful to avoid waterlogging, which can cause bulbs to rot. Mulching can help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the bulbs from extreme temperatures.  

When to Grow

The ideal time to plant Music garlic is in the fall, typically between late September and November, before the first freeze. This allows the garlic to develop roots during the fall and winter. In warmer climates where the soil does not freeze, planting can extend into late fall or early winter. Spring planting is possible but may result in smaller bulbs.

How to Sow and Plant

Preparation: Till the soil to a depth of 12-18 inches, ensuring it is loose and aerated. Remove any weeds or debris.
Planting: Separate the garlic bulbs into individual cloves, keeping the outer paper intact. Plant the cloves 1-2 inches deep with the pointed end up, spacing them 6-8 inches apart and rows 5-9 inches apart. In colder climates, cover the cloves with about 2 inches of soil; in warmer areas, 1 inch is sufficient.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and provide moisture for germination​.

How to Grow

Maintain consistent moisture, ensuring the soil is not waterlogged. Apply a balanced organic fertilizer monthly during the growing season to promote healthy growth and bulb development. Remove any weeds promptly to prevent competition for nutrients and space. In late spring, pull or cut the scapes before they flower, after they have started to curl, to encourage larger bulb growth. Music garlic is cold hardy and can survive winter freezes with proper mulching.
