Autumn Planting Garlic Bulb Collection
This great value autumn planting garlic collection brings together three carefully selected varieties chosen for flavour, size and dependable garden performance. It includes Provence Wight (2 bulbs), a large softneck garlic producing impressive white bulbs, Kingsland Wight (2 bulbs), a premium hardneck variety with striking pink cloves, and Elephant Garlic (5 cloves), known for its exceptionally large bulbs and mild, sweet flavour.
Provence Wight produces large white-skinned bulbs with fat, juicy cloves that are ideal for roasting or adding depth to everyday cooking. Kingsland Wight offers rich, aromatic flavour with plump pink cloves and a gourmet quality that stands out in the kitchen. Elephant Garlic produces oversized bulbs with a gentle, leek-like taste that works beautifully roasted or eaten fresh.
These varieties are tried and tested for autumn planting, delivering strong growth and reliable harvests. All bulbs are sourced from specialist growers and are certified disease and virus free, ensuring high quality from the start.
Garlic types include both hardneck and softneck varieties, each offering different growing and culinary qualities. Hardneck garlic produces stronger flavour and edible scapes, while softneck garlic is valued for its longer storage life and milder taste profile.
Hardneck Garlic (Allium sativum var. ophioscorodon) produces fewer but larger cloves and is well suited to cooler conditions, while Softneck Garlic (Allium sativum var. sativum) matures more quickly, stores well and is widely used in everyday cooking.
