Garlic

210d to harvest

Siberian Garlic brings a bold, warming aroma that blooms into a rich, savory flavor—sharp at first, then beautifully mellow. Expect firm, medium-to-large bulbs with a classic hardneck personality: easy to peel cloves and a satisfyingly snappy texture that holds its character for roasting, sauces, and slow-simmered favorites. Grow Siberian Garlic for dependable, long-season performance and the kind of kitchen-ready intensity that makes every harvest feel like a triumph.

Frequently Asked Questions

During the main growing phase, how often should I water Allium sativum and what soil moisture level should I aim for?

From spring growth through bulb sizing, keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged—about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week total, adjusted for rain and heat. Water deeply when the top 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of soil feel dry, then let excess drain; garlic needs oxygen around the roots, so soggy soil increases rot risk. In the final 3–4 weeks before harvest, reduce watering so the bulbs can dry and cure properly.

How can I tell when Siberian garlic (Allium sativum) is ready to harvest at ~210 days?

Harvest when about half the leaves have yellowed and the lower leaves are drying, while the bulbs are still firm and well-filled. Check by gently lifting one bulb with a fork—mature cloves should feel distinct and the skins should be tight around the bulb. If the leaves are still mostly green, wait a bit longer; if the neck is collapsing and cloves are separating, you’re likely past the best harvest window.
