🌱 Cultivation & Preservation
🌱 Growing Tips
Plant cloves in autumn, pointed end up, 2 inches deep. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Harvest when leaves yellow, usually mid-summer.
🌾 Drying & Preserving
Braid stems together or hang in bunches in a dry, airy spot for 3–4 weeks. Fully dried bulbs will store for months.
📦 Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Do not refrigerate whole bulbs — they will sprout. Peeled cloves can be stored in oil in the fridge (use within 1 week).
