Frequently Asked Questions
Discover useful information about mixed colour garlic varieties, planting, and harvesting.
What causes garlic bulbs to have different colours?
Garlic bulb colours are influenced by variety and natural pigmentation in the outer skins and clove coverings. Different garlic varieties can produce white, pink, reddish, or purple-striped bulbs. Growing conditions can also influence the appearance of the harvested bulbs.
Can different coloured garlic varieties be planted together?
Yes. Different garlic varieties can be planted in the same vegetable garden. Keep each variety in a separately labelled row or section to identify bulb colours, growth characteristics, and harvest times. Garlic varieties are generally maintained through individual cloves rather than true seeds.
When is the right time to harvest mixed colour garlic?
Garlic is generally ready for harvesting when several lower leaves turn brown while some upper leaves remain green. Avoid waiting until all the leaves have dried, as the bulb wrappers may deteriorate. Carefully loosen the soil and lift the bulbs before curing them in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated area.
