HOW TO GROW WILD GARLIC :
Step 1Sowing Direct to Ground:
There are two ways to start Wild Garlic. The first is for direct sowing into a garden bed. The ideal time is prior to winter. Sow roughly 20mm deep into soil roughly 10cm apart. Keep moist throughout the winter.
Seed shells require weathering in order to sprout and this occurs naturally throughout the winter. In early spring some seeds will sprout within weeks but others can take up to 12 months to germinate.
Sowing Indoors:
To break the dormancy of the seeds, sow 20mm into small punnets or pots of a good seed raising mix. Moisten, add cling wrap or plastic over the punnet and place into the fridge for roughly 4 weeks.
Be sure to check every few days and mist the soil to ensure
it doesn’t dry out completely. After 4 weeks, take outside where the seeds will get some sunshine but not for long periods. Early morning sun is ideal.Step 2
Keep moist while awaiting seeds to germinate. The process for both steps above can be extremely random. Sprouts can be seen as early as 18 days but can also take twelve months!
Step 3
Once sprouted, move seeds in pots to a position with more sun. Once they are about 10cm tall, they can be transplanted to final position.
Step 4
Transplant into final position only after last frost and ideally with some shade cover. Additional water is advised once flowering begins to occur. Wild Garlic takes about 24-36 months to reach maturity.
