Contains 4 bags of our best-selling garlic varieties:

Transylvania (4 bulbs)
Softneck. Large bulbs have the perfect balance of a smooth, rich garlicky flavor and just a kiss of pungency! Good storage.

Elephant Garlic (1 lb)
Actually a leek, not a true garlic; its super-large bulbs can exceed a half-pound, with just a few very plump cloves. But the flavor is all garlic!

Chet's Italian (4 bulbs)
Softneck. A mellow artichoke-style garlic that produces 10 to 20 cloves with a lovely mild flavor suitable for eating raw.

Vietnamese Purple (4 bulbs)
Hardneck. Vietnamese Purple garlic offers a more subtle flavor than the typical fiery hardnecks. It is sweet and creamy when roasted.

Growing Tips

All these garlics like full sun, well-draining, rich soil with a neutral pH, and a plot with good air circulation. Raised beds and containers are great for garlic, but not absolutely necessary. Mulching helps protect the plants over the winter, but don't be too concerned if the plants sprout while it's still cold. Most of the growth will be happening underground. Beginning in spring, water regularly until the leaves start to turn brown or yellow and fall over.

When to Grow

Plant in the fall, about 4-6 weeks before the first hard frost, for best bulb size and flavor; it's possible to plant in the spring in milder climates as well, but Elephant garlic needs to overwinter or the bulb will not develop into separate cloves.

How to Sow and Plant

Separate the bulbs into individual cloves just before planting, leaving the papery skins intact. Plant them 2 inches deep, pointy end up, about 4-6 inches apart. Plant rows about 12 inches apart to allow room for growth. If using containers or raised beds, ensure that the soil is deep enough. Water lightly after planting, but regular watering is not needed until spring. Mulch with straw or leaves to protect the garlic over winter and to help suppress weeds.

How to Grow

As the garlic grows, ensure it receives regular watering, especially during dry periods in spring and summer. Be careful not to over-water, as that can cause root rot. Remove any weeds to reduce competition for nutrients. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Stop watering a week or so before harvesting. Proper drainage and full sun exposure are very important for healthy bulb development. Harvest when the majority of the leaves have turned brown, typically in mid-summer. Carefully dig up the bulbs, brush off excess soil, and allow them to cure in a dry, well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks.

Fertilize Transylvania garlic when the greens are about 6 inches tall for good bulb development.
Fertilize Elephant garlic with a high-nitrogen feed every two weeks during the growing season, and switch to a high-phosphorus fertilizer as the bulbs begin to form.
Chet's Italian garlic can be fertilized with a balanced 10-10-10 or 5-5-5 fertilizer in spring.
In spring, remove any flower stalks (scapes) that appear on the hardneck Vietnamese Purple garlic, in order to encourage bulb development. Fertilize with an organic liquid fertilizer or compost tea, but stop once the leaves begin to yellow and die back in mid-summer.

FAQ

Can I grow garlic in containers?
Yes, garlic can be grown in sufficiently large containers if provided with well-draining, fairly rich soil, full sunlight, regular watering, and proper fertilization.

How long does it take to grow garlic?
It typically takes 7-9 months from fall planting to harvest. Garlic can be planted in spring, but Elephant garlic may not develop separate cloves unless it is overwintered.

How do I know when garlic is ready to harvest?
Garlic is ready to harvest when the foliage turns yellow or brown and begins to die back. Carefully dig up the bulbs, brush off excess soil, and cure them in a cool, dark, and airy place for several weeks before storage.

How do I store harvested garlic?
Cure garlic by drying it in a shady, well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Properly stored, garlic can last several months.
