Spanish roja garlic

Spanish Roja is a celebrated hardneck garlic with attractive reddish-purple clove wrappers and full, complex flavor. It prefers a sunny, well-drained bed, autumn planting in many climates, and a curing period after harvest.

For best results, start these seeds in a location with full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Follow the planting calendar for your area and wait until soil and air temperatures suit the crop. Sow at the depth recommended on the seed packet, keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination, and thin seedlings so mature plants have adequate airflow and room to develop. Once established, water deeply when the soil begins to dry, keep competing weeds under control, and avoid repeatedly wetting the foliage late in the day. Use mulch to moderate soil moisture and reduce splashing. Watch the plants as they mature and harvest at the stage appropriate for the variety—young for tender summer crops, or fully mature and cured for storage crops, garlic, corn, pumpkins, and gourds. Because growing conditions vary, treat this description as variety guidance and rely on local frost dates and your seed packet for exact timing.
