These purple garlic bulbs are hardy and grow well in USDA Zones 3–8, thriving in loamy, well-drained soil and requiring only 6-8 hours of full sunlight each day.

When it comes to planting, these garlic bulbs are versatile and perform best in the fall planting season, about 4–6 weeks before the first frost. However, spring planting is also possible and will yield flavorful cloves, though smaller in size.

Maintaining these garlic plants is simple, with minimal watering and soil preparation. Just plant the bulbs with the pointed end facing up, approximately 2–3 inches deep, and space them 6 inches apart. These garlic plants offer a natural pest-repelling property, making them a smart choice for companion planting alongside other vegetables or flowers.
