Germidour garlic is known for its reliable growing characteristics. It is resistant to many common diseases and can be grown in a variety of climates and soil types. Use Germidour Garlic in recipes where you want a milder garlic flavor. It is perfect in salad dressings, sauces and marinades.
The mild flavor makes Germidour ideal for garlic bread and other baked goods where a subtle garlic note is desired.
Because of its mildness, Germidour can be used raw in salads or as a garnish without overpowering other flavors. Plant the cloves in the fall, about 6-8 weeks before the first frost. Place them tip up, about 5 cm deep and 15 cm apart.
Germidour thrives best in well-drained soil with a high organic content. Water regularly, but avoid getting the soil too wet to prevent rot.
Harvest the garlic when the leaves start to yellow and wilt. After harvesting, let the bulbs dry in a warm and well-ventilated place for a few days before storing.
