When to Plant Softneck Garlic Bulbs

Softneck garlic bulbs are typically planted in autumn, from September to December, to allow the cloves to establish over winter. However, some varieties can also be planted in early spring, from February to March, if the weather conditions are suitable. The exact planting time may vary depending on the variety, so check the instructions provided with your chosen bulbs. Garlic grows best in cool conditions, and a period of cold weather helps the bulbs to divide into cloves.

How to Grow Softneck Garlic

To grow softneck garlic, start by preparing well-drained soil in a sunny position. Plant the cloves with the pointed

end facing up, around 2.5cm (1in) deep and 10-15cm (4-6 inches) apart. Leave 30cm (12in) between rows for easy maintenance. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging the soil. Keep the area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients. The exact care requirements will depend on the variety, so refer to specific instructions for your chosen variety.
