Description

Softneck variety
Plant: September to January
Harvest: May to July

Garlic 'Rhapsody Wight' is a softneck variety that features large, bright bulbs with deep purple streaks and a mottling effect. The bulbs will lift themselves up out of the ground as they grow, ready for harvest.

Historically, 'Rhapsody Wight' originates from the south west of France, and is known as 'en primeur'; the first true garlic of the season. This fresh, zingy variety is full of flavour and is perfect for adding to many delicious recipes. It most definitely deserves the name “Rhapsody”; an ecstatic expression of feeling!

This garlic variety is happiest when planted in full sun. Plant out between September and January; place the cloves 3–4cm below the surface, root down (pointy end facing up) and 6 inches apart from one another.

For best results, water your garlic during any dry periods, but stop watering completely during the last few weeks. The garlic will be ready to harvest between May and July, once the the lower leaves start to fold and turn yellow.

How to Guide

Planting Garlic

Prepare the ground with our Pre-Planting Onion, Garlic & Shallot Fertiliser to ensure strong bulb development and growth, early ripening and maturity, good skin and bulb firmness.

Place the cloves in the soil with their tips around 2.5cm (1in) below the surface. Space them about 15cm (6 inches) apart. Keep rows around 30cm (12 inches) apart.

If the weather is particularly wet, or soil very heavy, start cloves in modules in a greenhouse or under other protection until conditions improve.
