Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Separate cloves from the bulb carefully without damaging them.

Choose large, healthy cloves for planting.

Sowing:

Plant cloves in the fall, 4-6 weeks before the first hard frost, or in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked.

Plant cloves with the pointed end up, 2-3 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Cloves will begin to develop roots and shoots as soon as the soil warms up in the spring.

Ensure the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Elephant garlic does not require transplanting; it can be planted directly into its final growing location.

If starting indoors, transplant outdoors after the last frost date when seedlings have a few sets of true leaves.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.

Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Monitor for pests and diseases, treating as necessary with organic or chemical controls.

Harvest garlic bulbs when the lower leaves begin to yellow and dry out, typically in late summer.
