Garlic grown from bulbils we harvested from our 2021 Garlic Season.
They are a hard neck variety & open pollinated - cross between Mt. Hood & Uzbekistan Garlic.
Garlic can be grown as a perennial in a permaculture garden, or as a unique edible addition to your perennial flower gardens.
Growing garlic as a perennial means less maintenance, year-round harvests and never buying seed garlic again.
Growing garlic as a perennial is pretty simple. Just plant garlic as you normally would in the fall, and then ignore it for a few years. The following year, each clove of that garlic plant will send up a new sprout. When you plant garlic, you plant individual cloves, but since these were never separated they’ll come up as dense patches of garlic shoots. After two or three years, a single garlic clove will have dozens of garlic shoots sprouting from a small patch of ground.
LIGHT PREFERENCE: Full Sun
SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Nutrient rich, well-drained soil.
PLANT SPACING: 2-3" (or plant the clump)
HARVEST: 2nd year garlic will still be a little small, which you can eat - or replant again in the fall for a larger harvest. Garlic from bulbils takes 2-3 years to reach your typical bulb size. Also greens can be harvested and eaten.
