A closer look

Product details

Everything you need to know about this product.

French Garlic 'Messidrome' is an autumn-planting softneck variety grown for its white bulbs and useful kitchen flavour. Plant individual cloves in a sunny vegetable bed, raised bed or large container and harvest the following summer. Supplied as 2 planting bulbs.

Why we like it

  • A practical crop for kitchen gardens and allotments.
  • White bulbs with plenty of cloves for everyday cooking.
  • Stores well when properly dried after harvest.

What to know

  • Position: Full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Raised beds help where winter drainage is poor.
  • Planting: Plant in autumn, usually September–December. Separate the bulbs just before planting and set cloves pointed end upwards, with about 5 cm of soil above them.
  • Spacing: Allow 10–15 cm between cloves and around 45 cm between rows. Use a deep pot with drainage holes for container growing.
  • Care: Keep weeds down and water during dry spells while growing. Avoid waterlogged compost or soil.
  • Harvest: Usually June–July, when foliage begins to yellow. Lift carefully and dry in a warm, airy place before storing.

Flower colour: Grown for edible bulbs; flowering is not the aim.

Harvest months: June–July, depending on planting time and weather.

Height and spread: Foliage approximately 45–60 cm tall; allow 10–15 cm per plant.
