Product Information

Full details

The Germidour Pink garlic bulbs are an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners looking for a reliable, high-yield crop suitable for British growing conditions. This softneck variety is prized for producing large, white bulbs with a mild yet rich flavor perfect for roasting and daily cooking. While these bulbs offer consistent performance, success depends heavily on ensuring well-drained soil and adequate sun exposure to prevent rot in wetter climates.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant Germidour garlic?

It is best planted in the autumn or early spring for a mid-summer harvest.

Can I grow these in pots?

Yes, they grow well in deep, well-draining containers or raised planters filled with quality compost.

Do I need to peel the cloves before planting?

No, plant the cloves with their papery skins intact to protect them from soil-borne diseases.

How do I know when to harvest?

Harvest when the lower leaves of the plant begin to yellow and turn brown, typically in mid-summer.

How should I store the garlic after harvest?

Dry the bulbs in a cool, airy, and shaded spot for a few weeks before storing them in a mesh bag.

Are these bulbs organic?

These bulbs are produced with high standards, but you should check the specific packaging for organic certification status if that is a requirement.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs are rotting in the soil

The soil is likely too heavy or waterlogged. Improve drainage by incorporating compost or grit before planting.

Bulbs are small at harvest

Ensure the planting site receives full sun and that you are not overcrowding the cloves; maintain the recommended 10cm spacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best harvest, place your bulbs in a location that receives maximum daily sunlight. If your soil is heavy clay, consider adding grit or sand to the planting holes to improve drainage. Regularly remove weeds from the vicinity of your garlic to ensure the bulbs do not compete for nutrients. During dry spells in late spring, keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Stop watering completely about three to four weeks before harvesting to allow the bulbs to mature and dry effectively in the ground.
