Svea is a robust variety prized for its strong flavor and reliable growth in cooler climates. This hard-neck garlic produces large cloves with easy-to-peel skins, ideal for culinary use. Its sturdy neck supports the formation of a scape, signaling optimal harvest time. Svea thrives in well-drained soils and benefits from a cold dormant period, making it well-suited for gardeners seeking a hardy, flavorful garlic that stores well through the winter months.
How to Plant Garlic
Garlic can be planted in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, but fall planting is recommended. Bulbs will grow bigger and more flavorful when you plant them in the fall. Plant 6 to 8 weeks before your first hard frost. In southern areas, February or March can be a better time to plant.
Key Planting Info:
Break apart cloves from bulb but keep the papery husk on each individual clove.
Ensure soil is well-drained with plenty of organic matter. Plant in Full Sun.
Plant 4 inches apart & 2 inches deep, in their upright position (the wide end down and pointed end facing up).
