How do I plant pink garlic?
To grow pink garlic, we recommend planting the cloves in the ground in autumn, ideally between September and November. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid soil that is too compact, which could encourage the bulbs to rot.
Before planting the cloves, carefully separate them from the head of garlic, making sure to keep the tunic that surrounds them. Push the cloves in 5 to 8 cm deep, pointing upwards, spacing them about 10 cm apart. Water lightly after planting, then let nature do its work.
Be sure to weed regularly to avoid competition from weeds. Pink garlic is an undemanding plant that makes do with the nutrients naturally present in the soil. No fertiliser is required for its cultivation.
