For purple garlic to truly thrive in your garden, choose a site in full sun, where the rich burgundy color of its ornamental flowers will stand out fully in the spring. The soil should be primarily well-drained, ideally sandy-loam, as the plant can tolerate drier conditions. Do not overwater, as excessive moisture is definitely not good for the bulbs and could lead to rot. Garlic grows excellently in a thoughtful combination with cushion-forming, drought-tolerant perennials. After flowering, these will reliably and inconspicuously cover the garlic's leaves, which naturally begin to turn yellow in the summer and retreat back into the ground so the bulb can store nutrients for the following year.
Planting this ornamental garlic always takes place in the autumn. The ideal time for placing large bulbs in the beds lasts from September to November, or until the soil freezes permanently. Store the bulbs in a cool, dry place until then, and plant them at a depth of 10 to 15 centimeters, always with the tip pointing upward. For the most beautiful visual effect in the bed, we recommend maintaining a planting distance of 10 to 15 centimeters apart. In practice, this corresponds to about 40 to 60 planted bulbs per square meter. The plant requires absolutely no additional support, as its sturdy stems, reaching an impressive height of 60 to 90 centimeters, will easily withstand strong winds and bad weather. There is also no need to trim or pinch it during growth.
During intense growth and subsequent flowering, which occurs in May and June, you can look forward to a very pleasant fragrance that is guaranteed to attract a large number of useful pollinators from the surrounding area. In terms of frost resistance, purple garlic is among the exceptionally hardy species, tolerating temperatures down to -34 °C. Thanks to this, you can safely leave the bulbs in the ground over the winter; there is no need to dig them up or protect them with evergreen boughs. Moreover, you can leave the dry flower heads in the bed through the winter months to create a beautiful winter effect, especially when covered in snow or frost.
