FAQS for Buying Garlic Online
What is the difference between Hardneck and Softneck Garlic?
What is the difference between Hardneck and Softneck Garlic?
Hardneck Garlic grows a stiff central stalk and produces edible scapes, offering bold, complex flavor and large cloves—perfect for colder climates. Softneck Garlic has a milder taste, doesn’t form a scape, and boasts a longer shelf life, making it ideal for warmer zones and braiding for storage. Both types are available at Nature Hills for zone-specific planting success.
When is the best time to plant Garlic?
When is the best time to plant Garlic?
In cooler climates, plant Garlic in the fall, about 6–8 weeks before the ground freezes. In warmer zones, plant in early spring for a summer harvest. Fall planting allows Garlic to establish roots during winter dormancy, resulting in larger, more flavorful bulbs by midsummer. Use our zone map to determine the ideal planting time for your area.
Can I grow Garlic in containers or small spaces?
Can I grow Garlic in containers or small spaces?
Absolutely! Garlic grows exceptionally well in deep containers or raised beds with well-draining soil. Place the container in a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Choose a Softneck variety for longer storage or a Hardneck variety for stronger flavor. Space cloves 2–4 inches apart, and mulch to maintain moisture and temperature.
How do I know when Garlic is ready to harvest?
How do I know when Garlic is ready to harvest?
Garlic is ready to harvest when the lower leaves turn yellow and begin to fall over, typically in early to midsummer. Carefully loosen the soil and lift the bulbs with a garden fork. Allow them to cure in a well-ventilated, shady spot for 2–3 weeks. Properly cured bulbs store well and are packed with flavor all season long.
