Garlic Picardy Wight - 2 Bulb Pack

Additional Details

Garlic grows best in a sunny site in light, well-drained soil.

You will receive a large bulb, split this into cloves and plant these individually. Plant each clove upright, with the flat base down and pushed into the soil to twice their own depth at intervals of 15cm. They need very little after care, just nip off the flower bed when it appears and keep the area weed-free. Make sure to water regularly, as dy weather arrives. Add a little general purpose fertilizer in the autumn and a couple of times in the spring.

Disease:-Garlic is resistant to most forms of disease.
