Purple garlic
How do I plant purple garlic?
To grow purple garlic in the ground, it is essential to choose a well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Garlic cloves are best planted in autumn, between September and November, so that they can develop over the winter. The cloves should be planted about 5 cm deep and spaced about 10 cm apart.
It is important to plant them in a sunny spot, as garlic needs light to develop properly. You can transplant garlic plants from bulbs that have already been planted, spacing them about 15 cm apart. As far as watering is concerned, it is recommended to keep the soil slightly moist, but not excessively so.
It is also advisable not to use chemical fertilisers when growing purple garlic, favouring a natural gardening approach. By following these tips, you'll be able to harvest beautiful cloves of purple garlic from your garden, without resorting to chemicals.
