Society garlic seeds

How do you get garlic seeds?
Start by leaving a few scapes on garlic plants in the spring.
They'll mature into garlic seed by the late summer, and be ready for harvest once they dry and the plant begins to die back.
The garlic bulb at the base of the plant will still be usable and fully formed, but likely much smaller than the other bulbs nearby..
What type of seed is garlic?
Seed Garlic is considered to be the garlic cloves that are separated from the harvested garlic bulbs, which are then planted in the fall. (Seed Garlic is often left to grow for a couple more weeks than garlic that will be sold as food so they grow a bit larger)..
Where do you get garlic seeds from?
In late summer and early fall, they mature into heavy heads with small garlic bulbils and those are true garlic seed.
While an heirloom hard neck garlic variety may only produce 4 to 8 large cloves to be saved for seed, it will produce somewhere between 20 and 100 little bulbils if the scapes are left intact..
Garlic can be grown easily, and again, it is typically grown from cloves, not garlic seed.
In the rare instances you do get those true black seeds, they should be planted much like you would with onion seeds.
Garlic grows best in loose, well-drained soil that's been amended with organic matter.
Native to the rocky grasslands in eastern South Africa, society garlic (Tulbaghia violacea) is actually not in the same genus as garlic and onions, which are in the Allium genus.
