Garlic 'Taiwan'

Product number: 306130.1
Origin: Taiwan
Latin: Allium Allium sativum var. Sativum

This unique variety combines a rich, aromatic flavour with the beautiful appearance of silver-white bulbs adorned with deep purple flames. Because this heat-tolerant garlic does not require winter cold to form large bulbs, it is ideally suited to mild winters and glasshouse cultivation. Thanks to its tough skin, the bulbs retain moisture well and have a long shelf life. The flexible foliage is also ideal for braiding traditional garlic braids after harvest.

Names:

Latin: Allium Allium sativum var. Sativum
Dutch: Garlic
English: Softneck Garlic

Garlic can be planted all year round, provided the cloves are in good condition. Most varieties are available in autumn and winter. We supply varieties that are successfully grown in the Netherlands. Immediately after receipt, break open the bulb and plant the cloves in the ground: 2-5 cm deep and 10-20 cm apart. If planted in autumn, the garlic will emerge in February (or earlier) and can be harvested in June-July. Planted later naturally means a later harvest. Harvesting is not mandatory; garlic is hardy and can also simply remain in the ground. After harvesting, braid the foliage as you sometimes see garlic in stores and dry the bulbs in the sun. In a cool, dry place, they can sometimes be stored for up to a year! Cultivation is not difficult, but you can find good tips in our cultivation description in PDF (see bottom of the website). Garlic is said to deter aphids in, for example, roses, worth a try!
