Product description
Garlic is a great addition to any kitchen garden. It is most commonly grown in the ground but also does well in pots and containers. It takes up little space, so is perfect for filling gaps in your vegetable garden or growing around the edge of other crops.
Garlic is used in a multitude of dishes and can be crushed, chopped or sliced to add flavour to cooking. The plant’s green leaves can be cut and added to salads or used as a garnish.
When the leaves turn yellow, the bulbs are ready to harvest. It’s always better to harvest too early than too late, as this helps stop the bulbs opening up in the ground. Allow around 2 weeks for drying out, then cut the stalks from the bulbs. When stored in a cool, dry and dark place, garlic can remain fresh for up to 8 months.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
