Originating from the town of Lautrec in south western France, Garlic ‘Lautrec’ is a handsome, hardneck variety of classic garlic. It produces white-skinned bulbs and deep pinky-purple cloves that have a smooth flavour and are perfect for livening up a meal.
Best planted in the autumn for overwintering, ‘Lautrec’ bulbs are frost hardy and can be harvested from as early as late May.
Garlic requires a free-draining, fertile soil in a sunny position. Thoroughly dig over the site to remove any weeds and add a general purpose fertiliser to improve yields.
Break the garlic into cloves and plant individual cloves 3cm/1″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.
Lift the garlic out of the soil in mid summer as the leaves start to die down. Leave them on the surface to ripen for a few days and then store in a light airy position that is dry and frost-free.
