Grow Exceptional Garlic with 'Germidour'

Garlic 'Germidour' is a renowned softneck variety originating from France, prized for its reliability and adaptability in UK gardens. Each bulb develops into large, white cloves with a mild yet rich flavour—perfect for home cooks and kitchen gardeners alike.

  • Botanical Type: Allium sativum (Softneck Garlic)
  • Planting Seasons: Plant in autumn (September–November) or spring (February–March) for best results.
  • Mature Size: Each bulb produces multiple cloves; mature plants reach approximately 30-45cm tall.
  • Culinary Use: Mild, aromatic flavour—ideal for roasting, sautéing, or adding raw to dressings.

Growing Guide

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5–7.5).
  • Light Requirements: Full sun is essential for robust growth and maximum bulb size.
  • Spacing: Plant cloves 15cm apart in rows spaced 30cm apart.
  • Irrigation: Water regularly during dry spells but avoid waterlogging.

Planting & Care Tips

  • Sow cloves with the pointed end up just below the soil surface.
  • Avoid planting in freshly manured beds; add compost or well-rotted manure the previous season if possible.
  • No pruning required; simply remove any flowering stems that appear to focus energy on bulb development.
  • Harvest when leaves begin to yellow and flop over—typically July (autumn planting) or late summer (spring planting).

Garden Uses & Design Ideas

  • Adds structure and vertical interest to vegetable beds or mixed borders.
  • Makes an excellent companion plant for carrots, beetroot, and lettuce due to natural pest deterrence.
  • Easily grown in raised beds or containers for smaller spaces or patios.

FAQs

    The ideal times are autumn (September–November) or early spring (February–March).
  • How long until harvest?
    You can expect to harvest bulbs in about 8–10 months after planting—usually July if planted in autumn.
  • What care does it need?
    This variety needs full sun, regular watering during dry spells, and weed-free soil. Minimal maintenance is required beyond occasional watering and harvesting at maturity.
