Needs cold phase – autumn planting optimal.
Garlic (also known as Knoblauch) belongs to the Vegetables category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Early Spring onwards.
Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Garlic can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Early Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.
🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.
Garlic is very frost-hardy and survives even hard freezes. Can be planted in late winter or very early spring. Minimum night temperature: -4°C (ideal, not a strict requirement).
Garlic grows best at daytime temperatures between 8°C and 28°C. Night temperatures should not fall below -4°C.
Garlic is relatively robust against mold and tolerates wetter conditions well. Still, always avoid waterlogging.
Rain sensitivity: High – Prolonged rain can cause damage – protection with a film cover or roof overhang is recommended.
